The solid brick shown is made of small square shaped bricks of side 1. when the large brick is disassembled into its component small bricks. the total surface area of all the small bricks is how much greater than the surface area of the large brick?

Correct Answer: 32
Let, the length of square shaped large brick is a. So the surface area of the large brick = 6a2 From fiquer, the component of small brick = 6 × 6 = 36 So the length of small brick is a/6 The surface area of the small brick = 6×(a/2)2 = a2/6 the total surface area of small brick = 36×a2/6 = 6a2 no correct answer inoption
