Question

Which situation requires the use of the cube root?

A. Determine the surface area of a cube given the side
B. Determine the volume of a cube given the side
C. Determine the side of the cube given the volume
D. Determine the volume of a sphere given the radius

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Mathematically, the volume of a cube of side L is given as;

V = L^3

Now, given V and we want to find L, what we shall simply do is to find the cube root of both sides

By finding the cube roots of both sides, we can easily get the value of the side of the cube in question
