Question

Find the side length of a cube with a volume of 531 yd^3If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The volume of a cube is given by the following formula:

$V=s^3$

Where V is the volume and s is the side length.

Given the volume, to find the side length find the cubic root of the volume:

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt[3]{V}=s \\ s=\sqrt[3]{531} \\ s=8.1 \end{gathered}$

The side length of the cube is 8.1 yd.
