Question

A rubber ball has a radius of about 2.86 in. Can the ball be packaged in a box shaped like a cube with a volume of 125 in3?

Enter the appropriate values in the boxes to find the height (side length) of the box.

V=s3

=s3

=s

Answer 1

I am not sure what the values needed to add in / etc, but here is the height of the box: 5

Explanation:

A cube is a kind of rectangle where all the sides are the same. So to find volume, cube the length of any side. To find height, calculate the cube root of a cube's volume. For this example, the cube has a volume of 125. The cube root of 125 is 5. The height of the cube is 5.

(hopefully this is correct, have a nice day!)
