Question

What is the volume of the cube if each side measures 1/6 cm

Answer 1

Let L be the side of a cube.

Then, the volume of the cube is given by

`V=L^3`

since L= 1/6, we have

`V=((1)/(6))^3`

which gives

`\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(6^3) \\ V=(1)/(216)cm^3 \end{gathered}`

in decimals, this result is equivalent to V= 0.0047 cm^3.
