Question

Malik wanted to make a cube frame out of a long wire 150 cm. If the volume of the cube is 2 197 cm³, is the length of the wire sufficient?

Give your reasons.​

Answer 1

The wire is sufficient for making a cube of volume 2197 cm³

Explanation:

Volume of cube = L³

Volume of the cube = 2197 cm³

Length of the wire = 150 cm

Let's see if the wire is sufficient for making a cube.

Volume of the cube that could be made from the wire is:

V = (L)³

V = (150)³

V = 3,375,000 cm³

So,

The volume of the cube using a 150 cm length wire is much more grater than 2197 cm³.

That is why, the wire is sufficient for making a cube of volume 2197 cm³.
