Question

If a cube has a volume of 9 feet and a shelf has a height of 27 inches, can the cube fit in the shelf?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = 9 cubic feet

edge = ∛9 foot × (12 inches)/foot = 12∛9 inches ≅ 25 inches < 27 inches

The cube will fit.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes the cube will fit.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we don't take into account of how wide of long the cube is and just focus on the height, the edge of a cube with a volume of 9 feet is roughly 2.08 feet. That totals to less than 27 inches, therefore the cube will fit on the shelf.
