Part B
Christopher has started to build the shape outlined below using his 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚
wooden blocks.

a) What is the geometric name of the shape outlined?

Rectangular Prism or Cuboid

b) How many 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 wooden blocks will fit on layer A, as shown in the
shape outlined?
Fifteen (15)
c) (i) How many 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 wooden blocks will he need to fill the entire
shape outlined?
Sixty (60)
(ii) Explain how you get your answer.

Layer A requires 15 (1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 )
wooden blocks. There are 3 similar layers that
would require 15 (1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚) each.
That is, 4 × 15 = 60
OR
Number of (1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 × 1 𝑐𝑚 ) wooden blocks
require = 5 × 3 × 4 = 60.
