The dimensions of a rectangular prism are shown below: Length: 1 and 1 over 3 feet Width: 1 foot Height: 2 and 1 over 3feet The lengths of the sides of a small cube are 1 over 3 foot each. Part A: How many small cubes can be packed in the rectangular prism?

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
