Question 8
HThe figure shows a cube of a solid with sides of length 6 nm6\ \text{nm}6 nm, and the same cube after it has been cut into smaller cubes with sides of length 2 nm2\ \text{nm}2 nm.
Figure: A cube of a solid with sides of length 6 nm, and the same cube cut into smaller cubes with sides of length 2 nm
a.[1]
Calculate the number of smaller cubes produced.
b.[2]
Calculate the total surface area of all of the smaller cubes.
c.[1]
The surface area of the original cube is 216 nm2216\ \text{nm}^2216 nm2.
Calculate how many times larger the total surface area of the smaller cubes is than the surface area of the original cube.
