Answer:
Number of cubes in the top layer = 4 + 5 = 9 Number of cubes in the second layer from top = 4 + 5 + 3 + 4 = 16 Number of cubes in the third layer from top = 4 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 21 Number of cubes in the fourth layer from top = 4 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 24 Number of cubes in the bottom layer = 4 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 25
Total number of cubes in the model = 9 + 16 + 21 + 24 + 25 = 95
The correct drawing for the top and side view is given below:
