Question

A cube, side length s, has a volume of 216 cubic centimeters. The equation s^3 = 216 shows the volume of a cube. What is the side length of the cube in centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer: 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the cube root of 216. This means a number that you'll multiply 3 times that will give you 216. The number is 6cm.

3√216 = 6

Answer 2

s³ = 216   ⇒   s = ∛( 216 )

So you just need to take cubic root of 216.

Since 6³ = 216, then ∛( 216 ) = 6

So the side length of the cube would be 6 cm.

Hope this helps.
