To find the side length of a cube with a volume of 27 cm³, we can follow Tabitha's steps:
-
Cube Volume Formula: \( V = s^3 \)
-
Substitute the value into the formula: \[ 27 = s^3 \]
-
Take the cube root of both sides: \[ \sqrt[3]{27} = s \]
-
Calculate the cube root: \[ s = 3 , \text{cm} \quad \text{because} \quad 3^3 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 \]
Therefore, the side length of the cube is 3 cm.
