Question

if the volume of a cube is 27cm, find one of its sides

Answer 1

Answer: 3cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube formula is x^3 where x is any of the sides. All sides are the same length because it is a cube. If x^3=27 then x must equal 3 as 3x3x3=27.

Answer 2

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that the shape is a cube, that means that all the sides are the same length.

The factors of 27 are 1 & 27, 3 & 9.

1 & 27 won't work for this problem so you use 3 & 9.

9 is divisible by 3 so what you would get is 3 x 3 x 3 which then equals 27.
