Answer 5

Volume of a cube = (side)^3
Surface area of a cube = (side)^2 * 6
So, if we reduce one side to one third, then the surface area becomes
(1/3)^2 * 6
(1/9) * 6
Original area = (1) * 6
New area = (1/9) * 6
So if we reduce one side to a third then the surface area is reduced to 1/9 of that it was originally.
(Although you didn't ask this, when a side is reduced to 1/3 then the volume decreases by 1/27)
