उत्तर
Side (a) of cube = 12 cm
Volume of cube = (a)3 = (12 cm)3 = 1728 cm3
Let the side of the smaller cube be a1.
`"Volume of 1 smaller cube "=(1728/8)cm^3=216cm^3`
(a1)3 = 216 cm3
⇒ a1 = 6 cm
Therefore, the side of the smaller cubes will be 6 cm.
`"Ratio between surface areas of cubes "="Surface area of bigger cube"/"Surface area of smaller cube"`
`=(6a^2)/(6a_1^2) = 12^2/6^2 = 4/1`
Therefore, the ratio between the surface areas of these cubes is 4:1.
