Question

A cube has volume 1200 cubic inches. Write the edge length of the cube as a power.

Answer 1

The volume of a cube is an edge length cubed, so an edge length would be the volume to the 1/3 power. Therefore, the edge length of this 1200 cm³ cube can be written as $1200^{ \frac{1}{3} }$ cm. This also equals 2∛150 cm and is approximately 10.627 cm.
