Answer:
The length of the edge of the cube = 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets describe the cube
- It has 6 faces all of them are squares
- It has 8 vertices
- It has 12 equal edges
∵ The volume of any formal solid = area of the base × height
∵ The base of the cube is a square
∴ Area base = L × L = L² ⇒ L is the length of the edge of it
∵ All edges are equal in length
∴ Its height = L
∴ The volume of the cube = L² × L = L³
* Now we have the volume and we want to find the
length of the edges
∵ Its volume = 64 inches³
∴ 64 = L³
* Take cube root to the both sides
∴ ∛64 = ∛(L³)
∴ L = 4 inches
* The length of the edge of the cube = 4 inches
