Question

A cube has a volume of 343 cubic cm. What is the area of the base

Answer 1

49 cm²

Explanation:

The volume (V) of a cube is calculated as

V = s³ ← s is the length of the side, thus

s³ = 343 ( take the cube root of both sides )

s =
`\sqrt[3]{343}` = 7, thus

area of base = s² = 7² = 49 cm²
