A cube has a volume of 27 cubic units. What is the length of the side of the cube? I don't understand how to get the answer for this question!! Does it mean one side or all sides? I know that 27 / 4 = 6.75 but I don't understand if it means all sides or one side.
All of the sides of a cube are equal. Think of a die.

To find the length of each side, take the cube root of 27.
3 * 3 * 3 = 27
Thank you so much, it makes a lot more sense now!
I think I have understand than ever
Its 21
ur mum sucked me dry last night ;)
it’s 3
To find the length of the side of a cube given its volume, you need to find the cube root of the volume. In this case, the volume is 27 cubic units.
The cube root is the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives you the original value. So, to find the cube root of 27, you need to find a number that, when multiplied by itself three times, equals 27.
The cube root of 27 is 3, since 3 x 3 x 3 = 27. Therefore, the length of each side of the cube is 3 units.
To summarize:
- Start with the volume of the cube (27 cubic units).
- Find the cube root of the volume.
- The cube root of 27 is 3.
- Therefore, the length of each side of the cube is 3 units.
It's important to note that the length of one side of a cube is the same as the length of all sides, since all sides of a cube are equal.
