Question

Harriet needs to ship a small vase. The box she will use has a volume of 216 cubic inches. If the side lengths are all the same, what is the length of each side of the box? Hint: V =
`s^(3)`

Answer 1

awnser is :864 because 216times 4gives u 864 so ur welcome

Answer 2

The box has a shape of cube. The volume of cube with side s in is

`V_(cube)=s^3\ in^2.`

Since Harriet uses a box of volume 216 cubic inches, then

`V_(cube)=216\ in^3`

and, therefore,

`216=s^3.`

Note that
`216=6^3,` then

`6^3=s^3,\\ \\s=6\ in.`

Answer: the length of each side of the box is 6 inches.
