question 116238 is:
The volume of a cube is given by V = s3, where s is the length of a side. Find the length of a side of a cube if the volume is 500 cm3. Round answer to three decimal places.
if the volume is 500 cubic cm, then your formula becomes:
s^3 = 500
take the third root of both sides of that equation to get:
s = 500 ^ (1/3) = 7.93700526
to confirm:
v = s^3 = 7.93700526^3 = 500
round to 3 decimal places to get:
s = 7.937
