Question

Harriet needs to ship a small vase. The box she will use has a volume of 216 cubic inches. If the side lengths are all the same, what is the length of each side of the box? Hint: V = $s^{3}$

Answer 1

Awnser is :864 because 216times 4gives u 864 so ur welcome

Answer 2

The box has a shape of cube. The volume of cube with side s in is

$V_{cube}=s^3\ in^2.$

Since Harriet uses a box of volume 216 cubic inches, then

$V_{cube}=216\ in^3$

and, therefore,

$216=s^3.$

Note that $216=6^3,$ then

$6^3=s^3,\\ \\s=6\ in.$

Answer: the length of each side of the box is 6 inches.
