Question
if i made a model building using 27 cubic units and the building is shaped like a cube how many cubic units are in each row/
Hello, John!
The volume of a cube is: V = sł
where s is the length of a side of the cube.
Our cube has 27 cubic units (that's the volume).
We have: sł = 27 . . . so what is s?
s is the cube root of 27, or 3.
Therefore, there are 3 units in each row.
