3375/pi (.01) = length

Answer 4

Answer 5

im trying hang on... LOL
My machine been busted!

Answer 6

:)

the wire is a tiny column; base area * length = area of cube

Answer 7

.2/2 = .1 ; .1(.1) = .01 .01 pi

Answer 8

.01pi * L = 15^3

L = 3375/.01pi = 337500/pi

Answer 9

337 500 / pi = 107,429.587...

Answer 10

approximately 107,429.6 inches
