What Is The Maximum Number Of One Inch Diameter Spheres That Can Be Packed Into A Box 10 Inches Square And Five Inches Deep?
DeathKnight said:I worked on it and found out that maximum no. of spheres in only possible if they are placed directly on to each other. For this particular problem if the spheres are placed as you have said than there are two possibilities. Either the no. of spheres that can be packed is (81+100+81+100+81)=443 or it is (100+81+100+81+100)=462. They both are less than 500. I can be wrong though.
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of geometric figures such as length, area, volume, and angles.
"E-4" typically refers to the fourth level or grade of mensuration questions, and is often used in educational settings to indicate the difficulty or complexity of the problem.
E-4 mensuration questions may cover a range of topics, including but not limited to: perimeter and area of 2D shapes, volume of 3D shapes, surface area, and basic geometry concepts such as angles and triangles.
The best way to improve your skills in solving E-4 mensuration questions is through practice. Make sure you have a strong understanding of basic mensuration concepts, and then work on solving a variety of problems at this level to build your skills and confidence.
Some tips for solving E-4 mensuration questions include: carefully reading the problem and identifying what information is given, drawing diagrams or visual aids to help you visualize the problem, and breaking down the problem into smaller, more manageable steps.
