Question

Can anyone math experts help and guide me through these questions❓

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is

$a {}^{3}$

where a is the side length,

Note: If you want to remember this formula, know that a cube is basically a bunch of squares stacked on one another vertically and horizontally

The area of a square with side length a, is

${a}^{2}$

If we multiply that by the height of the cube, which is a.

${a}^{2} \times a = {a}^{3}$

That is the easy way to derive the formula of the volume of a cube.

Back on track, we know the volume so we must solve for a.

1.

$125 = {a}^{3}$

Assuming you took algebra, to isolate the variable a, we must undo it being raised to the third power.

To do this, we take the cube root of both sides

$\sqrt[3]{125} = \sqrt[3]{a {}^{3} }$

The cube root of 125 is 5 so

$5 = a$

5 cm

2.

$8 = {a}^{3}$

$\sqrt[3]{8} = \sqrt[3]{ {a}^{3} }$

$2 = a$

2 ft

3.

$343 = {a}^{3}$

$a = 7$

7 yd

4.

$1000 = a {}^{3}$

$10 = a$

10 mm

5.

$1728 = {a}^{3}$

$a = 12$

12 in. or 1 ft

6.

$1 = {a}^{3}$

$a = 1$

1 m

Answer 2

Answer:

A cube can be seen as a square that has been 'stretched'. We know that all four sides of a square are equal, thus, the sides of the faces of a cube are also equal.

In order to find the volume of a cube, the formula we apply is length x width x height (lwh).

Since all the sides are the same, another formula for the volume of the cube can be written as volume = x^3 in which x stands for the length of each side. When plugging in the formula:

1) V = 125 cm^3

   125 = x^3

   ∛125 = x

    5 = x

When finding the cube root, you can use a calculator or fingure out the answer yourself by multiplying any number by itself three times.

2) 8 = x^3

   ∛8 = x

      2 = x

3) 343 = x^3

 ∛343 = x

        7 = x

4) 1000 = x^3

 ∛1000 = x

         10 = x

5) 1728 = x^3

  ∛1728 = x

    12 = x

6) 1 = x^3

   ∛1 = x

      1 = x
