`21`

Show Worked Solution

`text(Faces on bottom prism = 5)`

`text(Faces of other prisms = 4)`

`:.\ text(Total faces)` `= 5 + 4 xx 4`  
  `= 21`

This drawing shows how a large rectangular prism is cut into 3 objects.

Step 1: A medium rectangular prism is cut from a large rectangular prism.
 

 
Step 2: The smaller rectangular prism is cut into 2 identical triangular prisms.

What is the total number of faces of the three pieces after Step 2, including the bases?

    faces

Show Worked Solution

`text(Faces on triangular prism = 5)`

`text{Faces on larger rectangle (after step 1) = 9}`

`:.\ text(Total faces of 3 shapes)`

`= (2 xx 5) + 9`

`= 19`

Nathan stacked 30 blocks into a rectangular prism as shown below.
 

 
The prism has 6 faces.

Nathan removes some blocks and the remaining shape has 14 faces.

What was the smallest number of blocks that he could have removed?
