Question 205838: Hello-
I am having difficulty in figuring out the following problem: "The volume of a cube is given by V=s^3, where s is the length of a side. Find the length of a side of a cube if the volume is 800 cm^3. Round the answer to three decimal places." If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
