Question

The volume of a storage pod that is shaped like a cube is 1728 cubic feet what is the area of the floor space of the storage pod?

Answer 1

Answer:

144 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the area, we have to know the length of the sides.

Since the figure is a cube, the way that the volume was found was by multiplying one side length by itself two times.

s^3 = cube volume.

So, to find the length of one side, we have to find the cube root of the volume.

$\sqrt[3]{1728}$ = 12

Now that we know the side length, we just need to multiply it by itself to find the area of the floor space.

12 * 12 = 144
