Question

Mike is building a square chest. The total volume of the box is 125 ft cubed. What are the cubeddimensions of the Chest

Answer 1

The volume of any cube can be calculated as:

$\text{Volume}=a^3$

Where a is the width, height, and length of the cube.

So, if the volume is 125 ft cubed, the value of a can be calculated as:

$\begin{gathered} 125=a^3 \\ \sqrt[3]{125}=a \\ 5=a \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the width is 5, height is 5 and the length of the square chest is 5.
