Math Problem Statement

if a cube has the volume 64^3 what is the side length

Solution

The volume of a cube is given by the formula:

V=s3V = s^3

where ss is the side length of the cube.

You're given that the volume of the cube is 64364^3, so we can set up the equation:

643=s364^3 = s^3

To find the side length ss, take the cube root of both sides:

s=6433s = \sqrt[3]{64^3}

Since 64364^3 is the volume, the cube root of 64364^3 is just 64.

Thus, the side length of the cube is:

s=64s = 64

So, the side length of the cube is 64 units.
