How do you find the side length of a cube given its volume?

Back

To find the side length (x) of a cube, take the cube root of the volume. For example, if the volume is 64 cubic units, x = ∛64 = 4.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the area of a square?

Back

Area = side length × side length (A = s²).

Front

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cube?

Back

Volume = side length × side length × side length (V = s³).

Front

What is the relationship between squares and square roots?

Back

The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. For example, √196 = 14.
