Answer 1

Answer:

a = 3 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The volume of a cube is 27 cubic inches.

We need to find the side of the cube.

We know that, the formula for the volume of the cube is given by :

$V=a^3$

a is the side of the cube

$a=(V)^{1/3}$

Put V = 27

so,

$a=(27)^{1/3}\\\\a=(3\times 3\times 3)^{1/3}\\\\a=3\ \text{inch}$

So, the side of each side of a cube is 3 inches.
