You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can check your answer by cubing 5.12
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285.12%29%5E3+=+134.22\" so that can't be correct, can it? You want the answer to be 800 as in:
\n" ); document.write( "\"s%5E3+=+800\" or
\n" ); document.write( "\"s%2As%2As+=+800\" What you have to do is to find the cube root of 800 whcih can be done on any good calculator.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28800%29%5E%281%2F3%29+=+9.283\" to the nearest thousandth.
\n" ); document.write( "s = 9.283 cm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%289.283%29%5E3+=+799.954\" very close!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
