Question

A display case is shaped like a cube. The edge length of the display case is 15 inches.

a. Write a power that represents the volume (in cubic inches) of the display case.
in.3

b. The volume of the display case is
cubic inches. Write your answer as a whole number.

Answer 1

a.

`Volume=15^(3)`

b.

`volume=3375 in^(3)`

Explanation:

a.

The volume of a cube of side length L is given by the formula;

`Volume=l^(3)`

Our side length is given as 15 inches. Thus;

`Volume=15^(3)`

b.

The power function obtained above can be simplified by the use of a calculator to obtain the volume of the cubic display case.

`volume=15^(3)=3375 in^(3)`
