Math Problem Statement

A cube has a volume of 2070 cm³. What is the length of each side? Give answers correct to two decimal places.

Solution

To solve this problem, we are given the volume of a cube, V=2070cm3V = 2070 \, \text{cm}^3, and asked to find the length of each side, denoted as ss, accurate to two decimal places.

The formula for the volume of a cube is: V=s3V = s^3 To find ss, we take the cube root of the volume: [ s = \sqrt[3]{V} = \sqrt[3]{2070} ]

Let's compute this: s2070312.74cms \approx \sqrt[3]{2070} \approx 12.74 \, \text{cm}

So, the length of each side of the cube is approximately 12.74 cm, which matches the first option in the provided choices.

The correct answer is: 12.74cm\boxed{12.74 \, \text{cm}}
