Question

A cubed-shaped box has a volume of 27 cubic inches. Bethany says each side of the cube measures 9 inches because 9×3=27. Is Bethany correct? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

She is incorrect because to find the volume you need to multiply the length, width and height but she multiplied 2 numbers which is how you find the area of a shape. So to find the correct answer you need to find the value of one side and then cube it (times it by its self 3 times) since it’s a cube
