How to find surface area of stacked cubes.
bottom tier has 8 cubes= L =4 cubes ..w 2 cubes H =1 cube 6 cubes= L= 3 cubes. w 2 cubes. H =1 cube 4 cubes= L= 2cubes. w 2 cubes. H =1 cube 2 cubes= L= 1cubes. w 2 cubes. H =1 cube
measurements are in inches
there are 4 tiers as I lsted them from bottom to top.
|dw:1373315906188:dw|
count the number of exposed surfaces
6*2 + 6*2 + 6*2 = 3(12) = 36
i misread and forgot the 4by2 tier ... but its the same concepts add in 8+8+4+2
i dont understand heip please
the bottom layer is sopost to have 4 cubes not 3 as pictuered.4x2
I think they want the surface area that you could paint... the surfaces that you can reach

so you have to count up the number of surfaces you can see.
|dw:1373320843925:dw| four on the bottom , on the side facing us. four on the back side 2 on the right and 2 on the left that is a total of 4+4+2+2 = 12 plus the tops of the two at the end |dw:1373320933425:dw|
