Hazel has two cubes. The smaller cube has a volume of 27 cubic units. The larger cube's sides are twice as long as those of the small cube. What is the volume of the second cube?____ cubic units
Q. Hazel has two cubes. The smaller cube has a volume of 27 cubic units. The larger cube's sides are twice as long as those of the small cube. What is the volume of the second cube?____ cubic units
Determine Side Length: Step 1: Determine the side length of the smaller cube.Given volume of smaller cube = 27 cubic units.Volume formula for a cube: V=s3 where s is the side length.Solving for s: s3=27.s=327=3 units.
Calculate Larger Side Length: Step 2: Calculate the side length of the larger cube.Side length of larger cube = 2 times the side length of the smaller cube.slarge=2×3=6 units.
Calculate Larger Volume: Step 3: Calculate the volume of the larger cube.Using the volume formula V=s3 for the larger cube.V=63=216 cubic units.
