Question

If the volume of a box is 1/8 cm^2 what are the lengths of its sides

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

(1/2) cm = x

Explanation:

This box has the shape of a cube. The formula for the volume of a cube is V = x^3, where x is the length of any one side of the cube.

Here the volume is (1/8) cm^3. We set this equal to x^3 and solve for x:

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:

(1/2) cm = x
