Match: 1→512 2→9 3→1331 4→4 5→1000
Case 1: Total = 512 cubes
Is 512 a perfect cube? → Yes
Cube root → 8
Cubes on one edge → 8
Expression → 8 3
If one layer removed → 448 cubes left, shape becomes 8 x 8 x 7 cuboid.
Case Study 2 – Water Tank
Volume = 1728 m³
Side length → 12 m
Is 1728 a perfect cube? → Yes
Prime factorisation → 26 x 33
Area of one face → 144 m²
Another perfect cube near 1728 → 1331 and 2197
