Question

what is the volume of the cube if each side measures 1/6 cm

Answer 1

Let L be the side of a cube.

Then, the volume of the cube is given by

$V=L^3$

since L= 1/6, we have

$V=(\frac{1}{6})^3$

which gives

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{6^3} \\ V=\frac{1}{216}cm^3 \end{gathered}$

in decimals, this result is equivalent to V= 0.0047 cm^3.
