Question

A builder uses squares to lay out various projects. Write two equations. The first equation should express the area of the square (a) as a function of the length (l) of a side. The second should express the volume of a cube (v) as a function of the length (s) of a side.

Answer 1

Area as a function of length can be written as

f(l) = l^2

And volume of cube can be expressed as a function of side s as,

f(s) = s^3

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of the square:

a = l²

The volume of a cube:

v = s³
