To determine how many 1-inch cubes could fit along one side of a cube-shaped box with a volume of 729 cubic inches, you can use the following equation:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Volume of a cube formula:
V=s3V=s^3V=s3
where VVV is the volume and sss is the length of one side of the cube.
- Given volume:
V=729 cubic inchesV=729\text{ cubic inches}V=729 cubic inches
- Find the side length sss:
s3=729s^3=729s3=729
- Solve for sss:
s=729s=\sqrt{729}s=729
Since 9×9×9=7299\times 9\times 9=7299×9×9=729, we have:
s=9 inchess=9\text{ inches}s=9 inches
Final equation to determine the number of 1-inch cubes along one side:
s=729s=\sqrt{729}s=729
This equation gives the number of 1-inch cubes that fit along one side of the box. In this case, 9 cubes fit along each side.
