Question

The volume of cube A is 216 cubic inches. The length of each edge in cube B is 2 inches longer than the length of each edge in cube A. How much greater is the volume of cube B than the volume of cube A.

Answer 1

Answer: 296 cubic in.

Step-by-step explanation: Since we are talking about cubes, and you know the volume of a cube is lwh, we know l, w and h are all equal, meaning be can cube root the volume to find all side lengths. The cube root of 216 is 6, so if each side in cube B is 2 longer, then the lwh for B is 8*8*8, or 512. 512-216=296.
