Problem
Isaiah cuts open a cardboard cube along some of its edges to form the flat shape shown on the right, which has an area of 18 square centimeters. What is the volume of the cube in cubic centimeters?
Solution
Since the figure is a cube, each of the six sides are equal, making the area of one of the faces 18/6 = 3, which makes the side length √3. Therefore, the volume of the cube is (√3)^3 = (A): 3√3
