If the edge length of a cube is 12 feet, what is the correct way to write the expression to represent the volume of the cube in exponential form? A. 123 B. 12 × 12 × 12 C. 312 D. 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is your guess?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually the answers turned out differently then in the test so I will give you a picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the volume of a cube you do the side length like this Side^3 (with an exponant of three) so side × side × side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do you think it would be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe the second one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes....but why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

side times side times side if its a true cube alls side lengths should be the same so 12 times 12 times 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a bit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there something youre confused about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, is answer 1 and 3 the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only correct one is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh nvm i was looking at what your copied let me look at the picture really quick

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a and b are both correct if looking at the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah both are the same. 12^3 is the same as 12 x 12 x 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I realized that i forgot to answer question 1 so that means I need help with 2 more questions of that is ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes close this question though and make a new one please

OpenStudy (anonymous):
