Question

The relationship between the edge length of a cube and its volume is expressed in function notation below. volume(edge length) = 200 cubic centimeters which of the following is the best translation of this equation?
a. the edge length of the cube (which depends on the volume) is 200 cubic centimeters.
b. the volume of the cube (which depends on the edge length) is 200 cubic centimeters.
c. the volume of the cube (which depends on the number of cubic centimeters) equals the edge length.

Answer 1

The answer is b.

Volume of cube is calculated by using formula V = a^3 where a is edge length. Volume of cube directly depends on edge length.

a. is not an answer because in formula we see that volume(edge length) which means that volume depends on edge length and not other way around.

c. is not an answer because it isn't equal to edge length but from the given formula it is equal 200 cubic centimeters.
