Question

if the volume of a box is 1/8 cm^2 what are the lengths of its sides



What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

(1/2) cm = x

Step-by-step explanation:

This box has the shape of a cube.  The formula for the volume of a cube is V =  x^3, where x is the length of any one side of the cube.

Here the volume is (1/8) cm^3.  We set this equal to x^3 and solve for x:

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:

(1/2) cm = x
