You are given a square. If the area of the square is 81 in2
, you can find the length of one of the sides byResponse area.
You can find the perimeter of the square by Response area.
You are given a cube. If the volume of the cube is 125 in3
, you can find the length of one of the sides by Response area.
The difference between squaring and cubing a number is Response area.
- To find the length of one side of the square with an area of 81 in2, take the square root of the area: sqrt(81) = 9 inches.
- To find the perimeter of the square, since all sides are equal in a square, you can multiply the length of one side by 4: 9 * 4 = 36 inches.
- To find the length of one side of the cube with a volume of 125 in3, take the cube root of the volume: cbrt(125) = 5 inches.
- The difference between squaring and cubing a number is that squaring a number means multiplying it by itself (N^2), while cubing a number means multiplying it by itself three times (N^3). The difference in this case is cubing involves an extra multiplication compared to squaring.
