Question

The combined volume of two identical cubes is 250 cubic centimeters. what is the measure of one cubes edge?

Answer 1

One cube is half of the volume of two cubes,so 125 cubic centimeters.

Answer 2

The measure of one cubes edge is 5 cm

Further explanation

To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:

Volume of Prism = Base Area × Height

Area of Square = (Side Length)²

Volume of Cube = (Side Length)³

Side Length of Cube = ∛ ( Volume of Cube )

Let us now tackle the problem !

Given:

The combined volume of two identical cubes is 250 cm³.

Let : Volume of The Cube = V₁ = V₂ = V

$V_1 + V_2 = 250 ~ \texttt{cm}^3$

$V + V = 250 ~ \texttt{cm}^3$

$2V = 250 ~ \texttt{cm}^3$

$V = 250 ~ \texttt{cm}^3 \div 2$

$V = 125 ~ \texttt{cm}^3$

$(\texttt{Side Length})^3 = 125 ~ \texttt{cm}^3$

$(\texttt{Side Length}) = \sqrt[3]{125 ~ \texttt{cm}^3}$

$(\texttt{Side Length}) = \boxed {5 ~ \texttt{cm}}$

Conclusion:

The measure of one cubes edge is 5 cm
