Question

If a cube has a volume of 27 cubic centimeters,

what is the length of each edge? Use the volume
formula, V = 53, and show your work.

Answer 1

3 cm

Explanation:

The volume of a cube is given by

V = s^3 where s is the side length

27 cm^3 = s^3

Take the cube root of each side

(27cm^3 ) ^ (1/3) = (s^3) ^ (1/3)

3cm = s
