The edge length that can be found is 6 cm
The block will not fit in the square hole.
<h3>How to find the volume of a cube?</h3>
We are given that the volume of a cube-shaped block is 216 cubic centimeters.
Thus;
V = 216 cubic centimeters.
Now, volume of a cube = a³
where x is an edge length
Thus;
a³ = 216
a = ∛216
a = 6 cm
The edge length that can be found is 6 cm
b) To know if the block will fit into the square hole, we need to find the area of one side of the block
Area of one side of block = 6 * 6 = 36 cm²
This is greater than the area of the square hole and as such the block will not fit in the square hole
