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.
