Question

Denise is designing a storage box in the shape of a cube. Each side of the box has a length of 10 inches. She needs more room and decides to construct a larger box in the shape of a cube with a volume of 2,000 cubic inches. By how many inches, to the nearest tenth, should she increase the length of each side of the original box?

Answer 1

She goes from 1000 in^3 volume to 2000 in^3. The side length increases from 10 to the cube root of 2000, which is 12.60 inch.

Side length increases by 2.6 inches.
