Cubes are three-dimensional square shapes that have equal sides. What is the density of a cube that has a mass of 12.6 g and a measured side length of 4.1 cm? (Density: D = )

.1828 g/cm3
.3254 g/cm3
3.073 g/cm3
68.92 g/cm3

1 answer

Density can be calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.

The volume of a cube is calculated by cubing the length of one side.

The measured side length of the cube is 4.1 cm, so the volume would be (4.1 cm)^3 = 68.92 cm^3.

To find the density, we divide the mass (12.6 g) by the volume (68.92 cm^3).

Density (D) = mass (m) / volume (V)
D = 12.6 g / 68.92 cm^3

Calculating this gives us a density of approximately 0.1828 g/cm^3.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
Density = 0.1828 g/cm3
