Question

Bill has a container that is shaped like a cube. He uses 125 cubes with a side length of 1 inch to fill the container completely. What is the edge length of the container? *****Hint: 1 inch cubes to fill a container is the volume of the cube Please answer quickly!!! Thank you.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of a cube = 1 inch

Required

Determine the edge length of the cube

If the container can take 125 cubes, then that's the volume

So:

$Volume = 125in^3$

Volume of a cube is calculated as thus;

$Volume = Length^3$

This gives;

$Length^3 = 125$

Take cube root of both sides

$Length = \sqrt[3]{125}$

$Length = 5$

Hence, the length is 5 inches
