Question

If the box is to hold 500 cubic feet, what should be the dimensions of the sheet mental ? what is the length of a side of the square piece of sheet metal
​

Answer 1

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Volume=500ft^3$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (side)^3=500$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto side=\sqrt[3]{500}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto side=7.5ft$

Answer 2

Answer:

$volume = 500ft {}^{3} \\ (side) {}^{3} = 500 \\ side = \sqrt[3]{500} \\ side = 7.5ft.$
