Question

A cube shaped terrarium has a volume of 27/64 cubic feet. What is the length of its sides?

Answer 1

A cube is a 3 dimensional object with 6 square faces. All its sides are the same length, there fore the volume is equal to
`s^3` where s is the side length.


`s^3 = (27)/(64)`

To solve for s, take the cube root of both sides.


`\sqrt[3]{s^3}= \sqrt[3]{ (27)/(64) }`


`s= (3)/(4)` feet
