A smith received an order to make a 1 million liter cube shaped tank. If he has only 4*2 sheets of metal that can be cut, how many metal sheets will be required if the smith has to make the sides first and then weld them?
My approach was 1 million liter cube implies each side is 100.
Therefore area of each side 10000. No of sheets required would be 10000/(4*2) = 125 (but this no where close) since units of 4*2 sheets are not specified.
So if I have to make a guess it would be 12 since that is the only one which is multiple of 6 (6 surfaces)
To solve this question, the dimensions of 16 Metal sheets should be known. We know that each side has to be 100 ( Units) , and by knowing what is the size of Metal sheets, we can figure out how many sheets are required to make 1 face of the cube or vice versa.
