Find the edge of a cube if its volume is 1000 cm3.

Brief notation of the problem condition:

Cube;

V – 1000 cubic meters cm;

a – rib;

and – ?

Decision:

A cube is a regular polyhedron in which all faces are squares.

All edges of a cube are equal.

The volume (V) of a cube is equal to the cube of its edge (a), which can be written in the form of the formula:

V = a ^ 3;

From this formula, we find the length of the edge:

a = ∛V;

Then the length of the edge is equal to:

a = ∛1000 = 10 (cm);

Answer: 10 centimeters.
