Pablo has 27 solid 1×1×11 \times 1 \times 1 cubes that he assembles in a larger 3×3×33 \times 3 \times 3 cube. If 10 of the smaller cubes are red, 9 are blue, and 8 are yellow, what is the smallest possible surface area of the larger cube that is red?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Pablo has 27 solid 1×1×1 cubes that he assembles in a larger 3×3×3 cube. If 10 of the smaller cubes are red, 9 are blue, and 8 are yellow, what is the smallest possible surface area of the larger cube that is red?
Original LaTeX notation
Pablo has 27 solid $1 \times 1 \times 1$ cubes that he assembles in a larger $3 \times 3 \times 3$ cube. If 10 of the smaller cubes are red, 9 are blue, and 8 are yellow, what is the smallest possible surface area of the larger cube that is red?
