A cube has a volume of 0.512 litres. Determine the length of each side of the cube in cm.

Question

Having difficulty with this question on how to comvert from litres to cm and  how to find the length of each side of the cube into cm.

Answer 1

1 liter = 1000 cubic cm

 

0.512 liter =0.512 * 1000= 512 cubic cm

 

Volume of cube =(side)³

 

512 =( side)³

 

take cube root of both sides ..(cube root of 512 is 8)

 

8  = side

 

length of ech side of cube is 8 cm

 

Answer 2

You cannot.

 

the cube root of .512 is 0.8.

 

So it is either 0.8 cm or the volume

needs to be converted to cubic centimeters

based on the density. That density depends one what

is inside the cube
