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.

Answer 1

10in

Explanation:

The volume of a cube is expressed as;

V = L³

L is the length of one side of the cube

Given

V = 950in³

Required

Length of one side of the cube

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and get L as shown;

V = 950in³

950 = L³

Take the cube root of both sides

∛950 = ∛L³

∛950 = L

L = ∛950

L = 9.83

Hence the length of one side to nearest integer is 10 inches
