Height of a Pole



         What will be the height of a pole made up of all the millimeter cubes in one cubic metre, if placed one on top of another?

Answer:     You will be stunned at the answer. The pole would be 1000 kilometers high. Let us try to calculate it mentally.

A cubic metre equals: 1000 cubic millimeter x 1000 x 1000.

       One thousand millimeter cubes placed one atop another will make a pole 1 metre in height. And since we have 1000x 1000 times more cubes, we shall have a pole that is 1000 kilometers long.
