Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to understand how many bricks make up the cube initially and how many bricks would make up the cube after the change.

  1. Calculate the initial number of bricks: A cube has three dimensions, so the total number of bricks in the cube is the number of bricks along one edge cubed. If there are 4 bricks on each side, then the total number of bricks is 444 = 64 bricks.

  2. Calculate the number of bricks after the change: If the number of bricks on each side is increased to 5, then the total number of bricks in the cube is 555 = 125 bricks.

  3. Subtract the initial number of bricks from the final number of bricks to find out how many more bricks are needed: 125 - 64 = 61 bricks.

So, 61 more bricks should be added to the cube.
