Question

Simon wants to build a cube-shaped storage container that holds 125 cubic feet of water for some frogs he recently purchased.Using the formula, V=s3, where represents the volume of the container and represents its side length, find the length of one side of the container.

Answer 1

Length of one side of the container = 5 feet

Explanation:

Given:

V = s³

Where,

V = volume of the container

s = side length of the container

V = 125 cubic feet

Find s?

V = s³

125 = s³

Find the cube root of both sides

3√125 = 3√s³

5 = s

s = 5 feet

Length of one side of the container = 5 feet
