Problem number 11. Five shapes are made by gluing cubes together face to face. Which shape uses the most cubes? A, B, C, D, or E?  By counting the cubes in each picture we will be able to tell which one has the most.  So A is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And we will mark it down there to make it easier. And for these next four, there is a cube that you cannot see. So keep that in mind.  So this is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.  So those two are the same. And then E is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So that means E is our answer.

Video Summary

The problem involves determining which of five shapes, created by gluing cubes together, uses the most cubes. By counting, Shape A has 5 cubes, B and C have 6 cubes each (including a hidden cube), D has 7 cubes, and E has 8 cubes. Therefore, Shape E uses the most cubes, making it the correct answer.
