Harriet needs to ship a small vase. The box she will use has a volume of 216 cubic inches. If the side lengths are all the same, what is the length of each side of the box? Hint: V= s^3.
y would you just put the question on smh
To find the length of each side of the box, we can use the formula for the volume of a cube:
V = s^3
where V is the volume and s is the length of each side.
Given that the volume of the box is 216 cubic inches, we can substitute this value into the formula and solve for s:
216 = s^3
To find the length of each side, we need to take the cube root of both sides of the equation:
∛216 = ∛(s^3)
Taking the cube root of 216 gives us:
6 = s
Therefore, the length of each side of the box is 6 inches.
