Question

If the edge length of a cube is 13 feet, what is the correct way to write the expression to represent the volume of the cube in exponential form?

Answer 1

@UsukiDoll

Answer 2

I believe its 13 × 13 × 13

Answer 3

oh geez I haven't done this problem in years... but let me find the volume of the cube
ok.. volume of the cube is side x side x side
. A cube is a three-dimensional shape that has with equal width, height, and length measurements.
so we're writing 13 three times right?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

ok. I'll give an example

say that we have cube of side 4.
since volume of the cube = side x side x side
then we have 4 x 4 x 4 or \[\large (4)^3 \]

Answer 6

that exponent number 3 means write 4 3 times
4 x 4 x 4
now try apply my example to the 13 x 13 x 13

Answer 7

uh oh... label matters

volume of the cube = 4 ft x 4 ft x 4 ft
(4ft)^3

Answer 8

3
so (13)

Answer 9

yes... it should be 13^3
but I forgot to mention that the label matters as well
x:/

Answer 10

so we need to apply the word "feet" or ft to this as well. we got it right, but if I remembered correctly, the label shouldn't be left behind.

Answer 11

so
13 ft x 13 ft x 13 ft = ?

Answer 12

13 to the power of 3

Answer 13

we got it right ... just remember the labels...
(13 ft)^3

Answer 14

lots of physics problems will make you convert first so that all units are the same, and we have to keep those labels...can't drop them.

Answer 15

3 13
13 3
13 × 13 × 13
13

Answer 16

so its the 2nd one

Answer 17

hmmmmm... yeah if it wants it in exponential form.

Answer 18

which is exactly what the question is asking.

Answer 19

its asking how would you write it

Answer 20

i believe were right

Answer 21

yes.. since putting it in exponential form we need the number 3 because that would mean writing 13 3 times

(13)^3 = 13 x 13 x 13

Answer 22

(: thank you
