Same question as katie, a cubic storage box is made with 96sq ft of wood. What is the length of each edge? if you use V=s3 How do you find s?

Isn't it six sided, so 6s^2=96 Solve for s.

How do you solve or what step do you take? do you divide 96 by 6 then you get 16 then what do i do?

Once you have divided, to get X alone on one side, get the square roort of both sides.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

To find the length of each edge (s) of the cubic storage box, you can use the given formula V = s^3, where V represents the volume and s represents the length of each edge.

In this case, you're provided with the surface area of the box, which is 96 sq ft. However, we need the volume, so we need to convert the surface area to volume.

The surface area formula for a cube is given by SA = 6s^2, where SA represents the surface area and s represents the length of each edge.

So, 6s^2 = 96 sq ft.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6 gives us:

s^2 = 16 sq ft.

To find s, we need to find the square root of both sides of the equation. Taking the square root of 16 gives us:

s = 4 ft.

Therefore, the length of each edge of the cubic storage box is 4 feet.
