Question

I have a hollow cube with 3” sides suspended inside a larger cube of 9” sides. If I fill the larger cube with water and the hollow cube remains empty yet suspended inside, what volume of water was used to fill the larger cube?

Answer

Determine the volume of both cubes and then subtract the smaller from the larger. The large cube volume is 9” * 9” * 9” = 729 in3 and the small cube is 3” * 3” * 3” = 27 in3. The difference is 702 in3.
