Page 31 Exercise 1 Answer
Given that, Janine can use up to 150 one-inch blocks to build a solid, cube-shaped model. We need to find the dimensions of the possible models that she can build. Also, find how many blocks would Janine use for each model.
Find the perfect cubes from 0 to 150
1 × 1 × 1 = 1
2 × 2 × 2 = 8
3 × 3 × 3 = 27
4 × 4 × 4 = 64
5 × 5 × 5 = 125
6 × 6 × 6 = 216
The total number of blocks given is 150. Thus, all possible dimensions less than 150 are our solutions.
The dimensions of the possible models that she can build will be,
2 × 2 × 2
3 × 3 × 3
4 × 4 × 4
5 × 5 × 5

We need to explain how the dimensions of a solid related to its volume.
The dimensions of the possible models that Janine can build will be,
2 × 2 × 2
3 × 3 × 3
4 × 4 × 4
5 × 5 × 5
The dimensions of a solid are related to its volume since they are building a solid, cube-shaped model.
The volume of the cube will be V = s3 where s is the length of the edge of the cube.
The dimensions of a solid are related to its volume since the dimensions consist of nothing but the length of the edge of the cube.

Given that, Janine wants to build a model using \(\frac{1}{2}\)-icnh cubes. We need to find how many \(\frac{1}{2}\)-icnh cubes would she use to build a solid, cube-shaped model with side lengths of 4 inches.
Let x be the number of \(\frac{1}{2}\) inch cube with the side length of 4 inches.
The equation formed from the given information will be,
\(\frac{1}{2} x=4\)x = 4 x 2
x = 8
Therefore, she needs 8 blocks per side.
Thus, the number of little cubes she needs will be,
V = 8 × 8 × 8 = 512
Therefore, she needs to use 512, \(\frac{1}{2} x=4\) inch cubes to build a cube-shaped model with a side length of 4 inches.
She needs to use 512, \(\frac{1}{2} x=4\) inch cubes to build a cube-shaped model with a side length of 4 inches.

We need to explain how we can solve equations with squares and cubes.
In order to solve equations with squares, find the number obtained by multiplying the given number two times itself.
For example, if the number is 4
The square of the given number is,
4 × 4 = 16
The square of 4 is 16
In order to solve equations with cubes, find the number obtained by multiplying the given number three times itself.
For example, if the number is 2
The cube of the given number is
2 × 2 × 2 = 8
The cube of 2 is 8
Solve equations with squares by finding the number obtained by multiplying the given number two times itself. Similarly, solve equations with cubes by finding the number obtained by multiplying the given number three times itself.

We need to explain why are there two possible solutions to the equation s2 = 100 And also, we have to explain why only one of the solutions is valid in this situation.
Here, we have taken the value of s as +10 since we know that the value of the length cannot be a negative one.
The value of the length cannot be negative. This is why we have taken only the positive value of s

Suri solved the equation x2 = 49 and found that x=7
We need to find the error Suri made.
The value of x = +7 and x = −7. The values are both positive and negative. This is the error Suri made.
We need to explain why are the solutions to x2 = 17 is irrational.
The solutions are irrational since the square root of 17 is not a perfect square number.
The solutions are irrational since the square root of 17 is not a perfect square.

Given that, Manolo says that the solution of the equation g2 = 36 is g = 6 because 6 × 6 = 36
Check whether Manolo’s reasoning is complete or not
Therefore, Manolo’s reasoning is wrong.
Page 36 Exercise 20 Answer
We need to solve \(\sqrt[3]{-512}\)
The solution is \(\sqrt[9]{-512}=-8\)
We need to explain how we can check that our result \(\sqrt[3]{(-8)^3}\).
To verify the result, find the cube of the obtained result,
Thus, we get,
−8 × −8 × −8 = −512
Thus, our obtained result is correct.
The cube of -8 is -512. Hence, it is verified.

Given that, while packing for their cross-country move, the Chen family uses a crate that has the shape of a cube.
If the crate has the volume V=64 cubic feet, we need to find the length of one edge.
The length of one edge will be 4ft
Given that, While packing for their cross-country move, the Chen family uses a crate that has the shape of a cube.
The Chens want to pack a large, framed painting. If the framed painting has the shape of a square with an area of 12 square feet, we need to find the painting will fit flat againsts a side of the crate.
Thus, the area of the cube is more than that of the given square. Thus, it can fit flat on the floor.
