Question

Rosa bought a storage container in the shape of a cube to store clothes. The storage container has a volume of 950 cubic inches. What is the

length of one side of the storage container? Estimate the length to the nearest integer.
inches

Answer 1

10 in

Explanation:

The length, height and width of a cube are always equal. Therefore, the length of one side of the storage container can be any of the side length of the cube.

Volume of cube is given as a³. Where, a = length of one of the sides

Given that the storage container has a volume of 950 in³, side length of one side is:

`950 = a^3`

`\sqrt[3]{950} = \sqrt[3]{a^3}`

`\sqrt[3]{950} = a`

`10 = a` (nearest integer)

Length of one side = 10 in
