To determine the length of one side of a cube given its volume, you can use the formula for the volume of a cube:
\[ V = s^3 \]
where \( V \) is the volume and \( s \) is the length of one side of the cube.
Given the volume \( V = 8 , \text{in}^3 \):
-
Set up the equation: \[ s^3 = 8 \]
-
To find \( s \), take the cube root of both sides: \[ s = \sqrt[3]{8} \]
-
The cube root of 8 is 2: \[ s = 2 , \text{in} \]
Thus, the length of one side of the cube is \( 2 , \text{in} \).
The correct response is 2 in.
