Question 27
Karen’s mother made a cake for her birthday. After it was iced on the top and the 4 vertical faces, it was a cube with 20 cm sides. Darren was asked to decorate the cake with chocolate drops. He arranged them all over the icing in a square grid pattern, spaced with centres 2 cm apart. Those near the edges of the cube had centres 2 cm from the edge. The diagram shows one corner of the cake. How many chocolate drops did Darren use to decorate Karen’s cake?
