Question

A company is making building blocks. What is the length of each side of the block? V=1 ft3 The length of each side is

Answer 1

The length of the block = 1ft.

The volume of the length of the side of blocks = 1ft^3

The 3 on the one feet means raised to power 3.

So, 1ft raised to power 3:

`1ft^3\text{ = 1ft }*\text{ 1ft }*\text{ 1ft}`

To get the length, we would assume the block is a cube

The volume of a cube = length^3

1 ft^3 = length^3

`\begin{gathered} \text{cube root both sides:} \\ \sqrt[3]{1ft^3}\text{ = }\sqrt[3]{length^3} \\ \text{length = }\sqrt[3]{(1\text{ft}}*1ft*1ft) \\ \text{length = 1ft} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the length of the block = 1ft.
