Question

Answer 1

Explanation:

V=8^3

30 inches answer

Answer 2

Answer: 30 inches

Explanation:

We know that the formula for calculate the volume of a cube is:

`V=s^3`

Where "s" is the length of each side.

Since the volume of each cube-shaped box is 125 cubic inches, we can find "s":

`125\ in^3=s^3\\\\\sqrt[3]{125\ in^3}=s\\\\s=5\ in`

We know that the display has six layers of boxes, then , to calculate the height of the display, we can multiply the value of "s" obtained before by 6. Then:

`height=(5\ in)(6)=30\ in`
