* An ant is crawling around this cube. The cube is made of wire. Each side of the cube is 3 inches long. (Those sides are called edges.) Points A and B are vertices of the cube.

What is the least distance the ant would have to crawl if it starts from point A, crawls along every edge of the cube, and returns to point A?

PLEASE EXPLAIN

Respuesta :

A cube has 12 edges and each edge is 3 inches. If the ant only crawls on the edges it would be a distance of 36 (3*12)

The least distance the ant would have to crawl if it starts from point A is 36 inches.

It is given that an ant is crawling around this cube. The cube is made of wire. Each side of the cube is 3 inches long.

It is required to find the least distance the ant would have to crawl from point A to point B.

What is a cube?

It is defined as three-dimensional geometry that has six square faces and eight vertices.

We have a cube is made of wire.

The length of each side of the cube = 3 inches

The total number of sides = 12

The distance the ant would have to crawl from point A to point B:

= 3×12   (because each side measure is 3 inches)

= 36 inches.

Thus, the least distance the ant would have to crawl if it starts from point A is 36 inches.
