The volume of the bottom cube is 1024 in3. The volume of the top cube is 16in3. What is

Question

the length of a?

Answer 1

Let's call the length of the bottom cube "x". Therefore, the volume of the bottom cube can be expressed as x^3 = 1024 in^3.
To find the value of x, we can take the cubic root of 1024: x = ∛1024 = 10 in.
Now, let's call the length of the top cube "a". Therefore, the volume of the top cube can be expressed as a^3 = 16 in^3.
To find the value of a, we can take the cubic root of 16: a = ∛16 = 2 in.

So, the length of "a" is 2 inches.
