Question

Two rectangular boxes have the same volume. One box is a cube, and the other box has dimensions 8 ft by 4 ft by 16 ft. How many feet long is an edge of the cube?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 2744 ft³

Explanation:

Data

length = 14 ft

width = 14 ft

height = 14 ft

- Volume of a Cube

Volume = length x width x height

-Substitution

Volume = 14 x 14 x 14

-Simplification

Volume = 2744 ft³

Conclusion

The volume of this cube is 2744 ft³

Answer 2

8 feet

Explanation:

All you have to do is find the area of one box and find the root to find the cube edge, as it says they have the same volume.

Lets find the volume of the rectangular box.

8 x 4 x 16 =

32 x 16 =

512.

The volume of the cube is 512 feet cubed, but you are looking for the edge.

The edge cubed should be equal to 512 feet cubed.

So 512 cube root is 8, because 8 x 8 x 8 is 512.

8 feet.

Hope this helps!
