The volume of a cubical box is 474. 552 cubic metres. Find the length of each side of the box.
Given,
Volume of a cube = 474.552 cubic metres
V = 83,
S = side of the cube
So,
83 = 474.552 cubic metres
= 8 =
On factorising 474552 into prime factors, we get:
474552 = 2×2×2×3×3×3×13×13×13
On grouping the factors in triples of equal factors, we get:
474552 = {2×2×2}×{3×3×3}×{13×13×13}
Now taking 1 factor from each group we get,
Also,
So, length of the side is 7.8m.
