A cube has a volume of 1/512 cubic meter. Complete the explanation for finding the length of each side of the cube. Express your answers as simplified fractions when necessary

Answer:

1/8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is given as the cube of the length of its sides. That is:

[tex]V = L^3[/tex]

where L = length of its side

The volume of the cube is 1/512 cubic metres.

This implies that:

[tex]\frac{1}{512} = L^3[/tex]

Find the cube root of both sides:

[tex]\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{512} } = L\\\\=> L = \frac{1}{8}[/tex] meters

The cube has sides of length 1/8 meters
