What happens when you start to add up hexagonal numbers, i.e., take 1, 1 + 7, 1 + 7 + 19, 1 + 7 + 19 + 37, … ? Which sequence do you get? Can you explain it using a picture of a cube?

Adding hexagonal numbers results in cumulative totals (1, 8, 27…). These align with cube numbers. Pictorially, arranging hexagonal layers symmetrically builds a 3D cube, illustrating how layers fill volumetric space sequentially.

  1. Summing hexagonal numbers produces cube numbers (1, 8, 27). Visualizing this involves stacking hexagonal layers symmetrically into a cube. For instance, adding 1+7 creates a base layer, while subsequent layers form a 2x2x2 cube. Adding additional hexagonal numbers expands the cube proportionally (3x3x3). This representation connects hexagonal growth in two dimensions to cubic structures in three dimensions, highlighting the geometric and numerical progression.

  2. So ,
    We have a cube that take 1,1+7,1+7+19,1+7+19+37

    Now,
    1+0=1
    1+7=8
    1+7+19=27
    1+7+19+37=64
    1+8+27+64=100
    💯+64+21=185
    Therefore, 185mi that make a cube
