Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture of the question in the attached figure
we know that
The volume of a cube is equal to
[tex]V=b^3[/tex]
where
b is the length side of the cube
In this problem we ha a cubes with a length side equal to 1 cm
so
[tex]b=1\ cm[/tex]
substitute
[tex]V=(1)^3=1\ cm^3[/tex]
The volume of each cube is equal to one cubic centimeter
so
To find out the volume of the figure, multiply the number of cubes by 1 cm^3
Looking at the figure
The total number of cubes is 6
therefore
The total volume is
[tex]6(1)=6\ cm^3[/tex]
Joyce's mistake was counting 5 cubes instead of 6 (there is one cube that is not in sight)
