The density of a wax candle in the shape of a cube is 2.7 g/cm³ if the mass of the candle is 475 g what is the side length of the candle round your answer to the nearest 10th of a centimeter

Answer 1

Volume of wax candle is V = m/ρ = 475g/2.7g/cm³ = 175.926 cm³.

Length of side: x³ = 175.926, x = 5.6 cm

Answer 2

475 gm / 2.7 gcm³ ≈ 175.9259259 cm³

Now determine the cube root.
