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?
@mikey williams I'm sorry but I think you miscalculated this by a long shot here, buddy.
In order to find the volume, you need to multiply Length*Width*Hight.
All sides are the same length in this question, then to find L*W*H, the volume's equation has to be ∛216.
If the answer was indeed 54 then you would write
54*54*54 witch is 157,464.
Now, that answer is way more than 216 which might I remind you, is the volume of the box the vase is being put into.
The real answer is 6.
6*6*6=216
or 6^3=216
or ∛216=6

To calculate volume you need to multiply the Length x Width x Hight.
All the sides are the same length so it must mean for it to be X^3.
3*3*3=27 nope
5*5*5=125 close
6*6*6=216 perfect
You can also write it as,
6^3=216
or ∛216=6
each side will be ∛216
If you can't figure that out, just start listing the cubes of integers:
1^3 = 1
2^3 = 8
3^3 = 27
...
and see where you get 216
@kitt is correct
