A toy manufacturer produces a set of blocks, with edge b, that can be used by children to build play structures. The production team is analyzing the amount of paint they need for a block

The expression for the total number of blocks is b³

This question seems to be incomplete. Here is the complete question :

A toy manufacturer produces a set of blocks that can be used by children to build play structures. The product packaging team is analyzing different arrangements for packaging their blocks. One idea they have is to arrange the blocks in the shape of a cube, with b blocks along one edge.

Write an expression representing the total number of blocks packaged in a cube measuring b blocks on one edge.

A cube is a 3-dimensional object that has six faces.

Characteristics of a cube

Volume of a cube = a³

Where a = length of a side

The expression that would be given is the volume of a cube. Since the length of the edge is b, the expression would be b³
