Question

The volume of a cube is 8 meters what is the length in meters of one edge of the cube

Answer 1

We have that the volume of a cube with side lengths s is:

`V=s\cdot s\cdot s=s^3`

siince in this case, the volume is 8 cubic meters, we have:

`s^3=8^{}`

notice that the prime factorization of 8 is:

`8=2\cdot2\cdot2`

therefore, we have that the length of one edge of the cube is 2 m
