Question

A cube has a volume of 216 cubic centimeters. What can be concluded about this cube? Check all that apply.

Recall the formula Cube volume = s cubed.
The side length, s, can be found using the equation 3 s = 216
This is a perfect cube.
The side length is 72 centimeters.
The side length is 6 centimeters.
Taking the cube root of the volume will determine the side length.
If you multiply the volume by three, you can determine the side length.

To solve for the properties of the cube with a volume of 216 cubic centimeters, we can use the formula for the volume of a cube, which is \( V = s^3 \), where \( s \) is the side length.

1. **The side length can be found using the equation \( s^3 = 216 \)**: This statement is incorrect as the correct equation is \( s^3 = 216 \).

2. **This is a perfect cube**: This statement is true. A perfect cube is a number that can be expressed as \( n^3 \) where \( n \) is an integer, and 216 is \( 6^3 \).

3. **The side length is 72 centimeters**: This statement is false because \( \sqrt[3]{216} \) is not 72.

4. **The side length is 6 centimeters**: This statement is true. \( 6^3 = 216 \), thus the side length \( s \) is 6 centimeters.

5. **Taking the cube root of the volume will determine the side length**: This statement is true. The side length can indeed be found by calculating \( \sqrt[3]{216} \), which is 6.

6. **If you multiply the volume by three, you can determine the side length**: This statement is false. Multiplying the volume by three will not yield the side length.

Based on this analysis, the conclusions that can be drawn about the cube are:

- This is a perfect cube.
- The side length is 6 centimeters.
- Taking the cube root of the volume will determine the side length.
