He would like to replace it with a box in the shape of a cube, but with the same volume. What should the length of a side of the cube be? Express your answer as a radical expression ONLY in simplest form. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #647862 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the volume of the rectangular box is equal to 25 * 40 * 58 = 58000 cubic inches.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the volume of a cube is equal to s^3.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "s is the length of a side of the cube.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get s^3 = 58000.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "take the cube root of both sides of this equation to get s = cube root of 58000.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since cube root of 58000 can also be written as 58000^(1/3), then you get s = 58000^(1/3) as another way to express that s = cube root of 58000.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in algebra.com, you would express the cube root of 58000 as root(3,58000).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "using the algebra.com formatting language, this would look like \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
