Question

The volume of a cube shaped box is 27 cubic centimeters . What is the height of the box

Answer 1

V(cube)=a³=27
a=3
height =3cm

Answer 2

Hi there!

A cube basically has same length, width, and height.
So if the length is 2, then the width and height has to be 2.

To find a volume of a cube, you would have to multiply length × width × height.
Since the length, width, and height are all same, you can write the formula as

V = x³
(x is the length, width, and height!)

So your question gives the volume already ; 27cm³.
You would have to multiply same number three times in order to get 27.
∛27 = 3.
3 × 3 × 3 = 27.
So you know that your length, width, and height is 3cm!

The height of the box is 3cm.


Hope this helped!! :)
