Question

The volume of a cubical box is 64 cm3. Which of the following is its side?

  1. 2 cm         
  2. 4 cm        
  3. 6 cm        
  4. 8 cm

hintHint:

The total number of cubic units that the cube totally occupies is the definition of a cube's volume. A cube is a solid three-dimensional object with six square faces. Here we have given the volume of the cubical block and we have to find the dimension of the cube.
We will use the concept of cubes and cube roots to solve this question.

The correct answer is: 4 cm


    We have given that the volume of the cubical block is 64 cubic centimeters. Here we will use the concept of cube roots, which says that a number's cube root is a quantity that, when multiplied by itself three or more times, returns the original quantity.
    For example: cube root of 27 equals 3

    Now we have the volume of the cube as:
    V o l u m e space o f space c u b e equals s i d e cubed
S u b s t i t u t i n g space t h e space g i v e n space v o l u m e space i n space t h e space f o r m u l a comma space w e space g e t colon
64 equals s i d e cubed
T a k i n g space c u b i c space r o o t space o n space b o t h space t h e space s i d e s comma space w e space g e t colon
cube root of 64 equals cube root of s i d e cubed end root
N o w space f a c t o r i sin g space 64 comma space w e space g e t colon
cube root of 4 cross times 4 cross times 4 end root equals cube root of s i d e cubed end root
S i m p l i f y i n g space i t comma space w e space g e t colon
s i d e equals 4 space c m
    So the dimension of the cubical block is 4 cm.

    In this question, we have given a cubical block of 64 cubic centimeters and we had to find the value of the dimensions of the cube. So we used the concept of the cube roots and volume of cube to find the dimension and the dimension of the cube is 4 cm.
