Math Investigation of Painted Cubes Introduction ============ I was given a brief to investigate the number of faces on a cube, which measured 20 small cubes by 20 small cubes by 20 small cubes (20 x 20 x 20) To do this, I had to imagine that there was a very large cube, which had had its outer surface painted red. When it was dry, the large cube was cut up into the smaller cubes, all 8000 of them. From there, I had to answer the question, 'How many of the small cubes will have
13 and 7,24,25 also work for this theorem 5² + 12² = 13² because 5² = 5 x 5 = 25 12² = 12 x 12 = 144 13²= 13 x 13 = 169 and so 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13² 7² + 24² = 25² because 7² = 7 x 7 = 49 24² = 24 x 24 = 576 25² = 25 x 25 = 625 and so 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 = 25² I will now work out the perimeter and area Perimeter = a + b + c Area = ½ x a x b 3, 4, 5 Perimeter = 12 Area = 6 5, 12, 13 Perimeter = 30 Area = 30 7, 24, 25 Perimeter
