Math Problem Statement

A cube has a volume of 2744cm3.show how you could determine the length of one side of the cube. Show all steps!

Solution

To determine the length of one side of a cube given its volume, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Formula for the volume of a cube

The formula for the volume VV of a cube is:

V=s3V = s^3

where ss is the length of one side of the cube.

Step 2: Substitute the given volume into the formula

We are given that the volume of the cube is 2744cm32744 \, \text{cm}^3. So, we substitute this value into the volume formula:

2744=s32744 = s^3

Step 3: Solve for ss

To find the value of ss, we need to take the cube root of both sides of the equation:

s=27443s = \sqrt[3]{2744}

Step 4: Calculate the cube root

We now calculate the cube root of 27442744:

s=14cms = 14 \, \text{cm}

Conclusion:

The length of one side of the cube is 14 cm.
