If the volume of a cube is 1,728 cubic inches, find the side length of each of its sides

Answer 1

each side = 12 inches

the cube root of 1728 = 12

12 cubed = 1728

12x12= 144

144x 12 = 1728

you can use a calculator that allows you to take cube roots

or you can notice 1728 ends in an 8, and 2 cubed = 8

10 cubed is 1000, too small

20 cubed is 8000 far too large

you're closer to 10 than 20, and 12 is the only number that cubed ends in an 8
