Answer:

Read below.

Explanation:

A perfect cube is a number cubed (If that makes sense). Such as 3³ will equal a perfect cube because it's being multiplied by itself 3 times. 3×3×3=9. It will work for any whole number. You can check if a given number is a perfect cube by using the cube root (
\sqrt[3]{x}).

Hope it makes sense!
