Two cubes of edge 6 cm each are joined end to end to form a cuboid. A student claims the new solid has volume equal to a single cube of edge 12 cm. What is the actual volume of the joined cuboid (in cm^3)?

Question

Accepted Answer

432. Joined cuboid = 12 cm x 6 cm x 6 cm = 432 cm^3 (the claim is wrong; a cube of edge 12 cm would be 1728 cm^3).
