Answer:
area of the base of the cube is smaller than 1 square foot
Step-by-step explanation:
since the volume of the cube is 1000 in^3 then its side must be (1000)^{1/3}
which is equal to 10 in
now, we know that area of the base of the cube will have an square cross section area= side^2
there area of base of the cube = 10^2= 100 sq in
now 1 foot= 12 in
therefore, 1 square foot = 12*12 square in = 144 sq in
clearly, area of the base of the cube is smaller than 1 square foot.
hope you liked the explanation.
