Question

A cube has a volume of 64 in?. What is the measure of one of its sides? Write and solve an equation.

Answer 1

The formula for determining the volume of a cube is expressed as

`\begin{gathered} \text{Volume = s}^3 \\ s\text{ represents the length of each side of the cube} \\ \text{Given that the volume of the cube = 64 in}^3,\text{ it means that} \\ s^3=\text{ 64} \\ \text{Taking cube root of both sides, it becomes} \\ s\text{ = }\sqrt[3]{64} \\ s\text{ = 4 } \end{gathered}`

The measure of one of its sides is 4 inches
