The volume of a cube is found by using the formula L3 where l is the side length. If the side length is 4X 3 squared what is the volume of the cube

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does the problem say that the length is:\[4\times3^{2}\] I need to know so I can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the 3 is the squared part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you use the equation editor to show me what you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4x ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmm...it looks like the problem is asking for x cubed, NOT squared. am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"cubed" means to the third power.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, this is pretty easy. You can find the volume of a cube by multiplying the length times the width times the height. Because a cube has all sides the same size, this means the formula for finding the volume of a cube is L^3--OR L*L*L The length of your cube is 4x^3, so... \[(4x)^{3}=(4x ^{3})(4x ^{3})(4x ^{3})=64x ^{9}\] Does this answer your question? Do you need more clarification? Let me know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answers are i attached a file below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are these the options you have? Are you sure cube's side is \[4x ^{3}\] Did you mean \[x ^{3}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya it is x\[^{3}\]
