the numbers from 1 to 8 are placed at the vertices of a cube in such a manner that the sum of the four numbers on each face is the same. what is this common sum?



Answer :

The common sum is 18.

What is a common sum?

The following item in an arithmetic sequence is obtained by adding or subtracting a specified amount (the common sum). To find the common sum in an arithmetic sequence, add the first term from the second term.

Here,

We have a number on a vertex.

It will be counted in 3 different faces since any vertex is the intersection of three edges.

Therefore, each number 1, 2, .... 7,8 will be added to the total sum 3 times.  

Our total sum is 3(1+2+....+8) = 108.

since there are 6 faces in a cube, we get

our common sum is :

= 108/6

= 18

Hence, the common sum is 18.
