Problema Solution
You are comparing two dorm-size refrigerators, both with cube-shaped interiors. One model has an interior edge length of 14 inches. Another model has an interior edge length of 16 inches. How many more cubic inches of storage space does the larger model have?
Answer provided by our tutors
In order to find the difference in cubic inches, we need to determine the areas of both the refrigerators and subtract them. We will use the general equation x^3 for the area of a cube with a side of 'x'.
Difference in areas=(16)^3 - (14)^3
Difference in areas=1352 cubic inches
