Question

What is the side length of a cube with a volume of 166 yd^3

Answer 1

Answer: 5.5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the side length of the cube, the volume is a clue. We know that all sides of a square are equal, and the volume of a cube is length×width×height. Since the length, width and height are all the same, we know it is V=x³. Since we know the volume, we can plug in and solve for x.

166=x³

In order to get x alone, we have to cube root both sides.

x≈5.5 yd
