Question 216119: This is the problem I'm trying to get, please help me if you can. "The density of a square is known to be 4 g/mL. Its mass is 32 g. What is the length, cm, of the side of the square? assume negligable thickness." I tried to take the mass and divide by four than use l8w8h but than I just realized that I only had a small part of the equation.

-------------------
The volume is 8 ml (32/4).
8 = s^2*thickness
The length of the sides is sqrt(8/negligible).
Silly question, imo.

-----------------
If density is 4 g/mL then its 32 g/8mL
---------------------------------------------
You are not told the dimension associated with the mL
so we have to make an assumption.
--------------------------
mL is a linear measure so the 8mL will have to be the
side of the square.
