Answer 8

thanks :)

Answer 9

I'm a bit confused still I must say

Answer 10

Answer 12

"so s = V^(1/3)" this is the part I am not understanding :(

Answer 13

why do you take the cube root?

Answer 14

Is it that you are taking V = s^3 and solving for s?

Answer 15

so that's the "express s in terms of V."

Answer 16

in terms of just means using the equation for V

Answer 17

?

Answer 18

great thanks again :)
