A sugar cube has a volume of 0.216 cubic inches. What is the length of each edge?

1 Answer

Each edge measures approximately #0.465# inches.

Explanation:

Since it's a cube, its volume #V# can be expressed as a function of the edge #l# follows: #V=l^3#.

Now we want to find #l# such that #l^3=V=0.216# cubic inches. This means that #l=root(3)V=root(3)0.216 approx 0.465# inches.
