Question

Chole wants to build a storage container in the shape of a cube to hold 15.625 cubic meters of hay for her horse. Slove the equation 15.625 =s3 find the length of oneside of the container

Answer 1

The length of each side is 2.5 m

Explanation:

A cube has a volume of 15.625 m^3 of hay

We want to find the length of one side

V= s^3 where s is the length of one side

15.625 = s^3

Take the cube root of each side

15.625 ^ (1/3) = s^3 ^(1/3)

15.625 ^ (1/3) = s

2.5 = s

The length of each side is 2.5 m
