To find the side length of a cube with a volume of 27 cm³, we can follow the same steps as Tabitha.
Step 1: Substitute the value into the formula. \[ V = s^3 \] \[ 27 = s^3 \]
Step 2: Take the cube root of both sides. \[ \sqrt[3]{27} = \sqrt[3]{s^3} \]
Step 3: Solve for \( s \). \[ s = 3 , \text{cm} \] because \( 3^3 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 \).
So the answer is 3 cm.
