After a 2 in. slice iscut off the top of a cube, the resulting solid has a volume of 32 in.2Find the dimensions of the original cube.

Answer 1

First of all, volume is in cubic units (e.g., 32 in^3).

Volume must be the product of the three dimensions. If one dimension is 2", the other two dimensions must multiply to make 16. Thus, the other two dimensions must be 4". Since it is a cube, all sides must have originally been 4".

Answer 2
