Tabitha found the side length of a cube with a volume of 512 cm3

using the following steps:

Cube V=s3


Step 1: Substitute the value into the formula 512=s3


Step 2: Take the cube root of both sides 512−−−√3=s3−−√3


Step 3: Solution and explanation s=8 cm
because 83=8×8×8=512

To find the side length of a cube with a volume of 27 cm³, we can follow the same steps Tabitha used:

  1. Substitute the value into the formula:
    \( V = s^3 \)
    So, \( 27 = s^3 \)

  2. Take the cube root of both sides:
    \( \sqrt[3]{27} = s \)

  3. Calculate the cube root:
    \( s = 3 \) cm,
    because \( 3^3 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 \).

Therefore, the side length of the cube is 3 cm.
