we have a cube shaped box with a volume of 125 cubic centimeters. what is the least amount of wrapping paper you would need to wrap the box?
125 = 5 * 5 * 5, so each side is 5 cm.
The cube has 6 sides, each 5 by 5 cm.
You should be able to solve it from this.
To find the least amount of wrapping paper needed to wrap a cube-shaped box, we need to determine the total surface area of the box.
A cube has six equal square faces, so to find the surface area of a cube, we can calculate the area of one face and multiply it by six.
The formula for the surface area of a cube is: A = 6s^2, where "A" represents the surface area and "s" is the length of one side of the cube.
In this case, since the volume is given as 125 cubic centimeters, it means that each side of the cube has a length of 5 centimeters (since 5^3 = 125).
Now we can use the formula to find the surface area of the cube: A = 6 * (5 cm)^2.
A = 6 * (25 cm^2).
A = 150 cm^2.
Therefore, the least amount of wrapping paper needed to wrap the cube-shaped box is 150 square centimeters.
