Question

Each side of a perfectly cube-shaped smelly candle has an area of 49 square feet. What is the volume of the smelly candle? cubic feet

Answer 1

343 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation

We have that each side of the cube-shaped candle has an area of 49 square feet.

The shape of the faces of a cube is a square. The area of a square is given as:

`A=l^2`

Where l = length of side of the face

Therefore, we have that:

`\begin{gathered} 49=l^2 \\ =>\text{ l = }√(49)=\text{ 7 feet} \end{gathered}`

The length of the sides of the cube is 7 feet, therefore, its volume is:

`\begin{gathered} V=l^3 \\ V=7^3 \\ V\text{ = 343 cubic feet} \end{gathered}`
