Question

1. Nick bought a large cube of cheese to feed his 100 rats. One side of the cube has an area of 16 square inches. What is the volume of the cube?

Answer 1

64

Explanation:

The area of one side of a cube = s*s where s is the length of one of the sides.

s^2 = Area

Area = 16 which is given

s^2 = 16 take the square root of both sides.

sqrt(s^2) = sqrt(16)

s = 4

Volume = s^3

Volume = 4^3

Volume = 64 cu in
