Okay the volume of a cube is found using this formula: v=s^3
s^3 is the same as s x s x s where s is the length of one of the sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry bu what does ^ mean? >.<
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it means to a power, sorry do you know what happens if you square something?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
err maybe

Okay when you square something, you multiply the number by itself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh so like 311. it would be 311 x 311?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or 311 x 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes exactly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k

nono you had it right, but since it is asking for l*w*h to find volume, we must multiply the side length times itself 2 times instead of just once
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so s^3 would be s = 3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, s^3 is s*s*s where s is the length of one side
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Since 12 is the length of the side, s=12

12 x 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Not exactly, remember I said it is a number multiplied to itself?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it be 12x12 or 3x3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is the same thing you did before like 311*311 just after you calculate that, you multiply it again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im thinking 12?...

Yes 12 is right since s=12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12x12 that is
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So after you do 12*12 you multiply that answer *12 again and that is the volume
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 12x12 is 144
OpenStudy (anonymous):
144 x 12 is1728

That is one of your answer choices
OpenStudy (anonymous):
164 cubic feet
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How did you get that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it the right one? or should i calculate again? 1728
OpenStudy (anonymous):
V=12^3=1728 he is right
