Question

A square has an area of 64 square units.A cube has a volume of 64 cubic units, What is the difference in the side length of the square and the length of one edge of the cube?
A.0 units

B.2 units

C.4 units

D.8 units

Answer 1

To find the length of the side of the 64 units ² square , simply take the root of the area,

$\sqrt{64} = 8$

~~

To find the length of the side of the 64 units ³ cube , simply make an equation,

$x \times x \times x = 64$

Calculate the product and then take the root of both sides and get, x = 4

~~

Now, we subtract since " difference " means to subtract...

8 - 4 = 4

~~

Answer : 4
