Math Problem Statement

A cube has a volume of 343 mm³. What is its side length? Remember to give the correct units, and give any decimal answers to 1 d.p.

Solution

To find the side length of a cube given its volume, we use the formula:

V=s3V = s^3

where VV is the volume and ss is the side length.

Given the volume is 343mm3343 \, \text{mm}^3, we can find the side length ss by taking the cube root of the volume:

s=3433s = \sqrt[3]{343}

Let me calculate that for you.The side length of the cube is 7.0mm7.0 \, \text{mm}.

  1. How would you find the surface area of this cube?
  2. What would be the side length if the volume were doubled?
  3. How do we calculate the diagonal length of a cube with side length 7.0 mm?
  4. What is the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, and how does it differ from that of a cube?
  5. How does the volume change if the side length is doubled?

Tip: Remember that for any cube, small changes in side length result in large changes in volume since the volume scales with the cube of the side length.
