To find the side length of a cube with a volume of 27 cm³, we can follow the same steps Tabitha used:
-
Substitute the value into the formula:
\( V = s^3 \)
So, \( 27 = s^3 \) -
Take the cube root of both sides:
\( \sqrt[3]{27} = s \) -
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.
