Question

on the grid below, draw and label an aquarium shaped like a rectangular prism with a volume of 8,000 cubic inches. (Hint: A cube is a rectangular prism, and 2 x 2 x 2 = 8. Find the perimeter and the area.

Answer 1

If you want an aquarium in shape of a cube with volume of 8000, then use the formula for volume of cube to find the length of one side:
V = s^3
where
s = side length
Substitute,
8000 = s^3
s = cuberoot(8000)
s = 20 inches

Well, if you have to draw this on a graphing paper, you should first make a scale to fit the drawing, like 1 inch = 0.5 cm, so a side length of 20 inches is equivalent to 10 cm on your graphing paper.

Hope this helped!
