Why is 2 to the third power call as 2 cubed?
Because, to find the volume of a cube, you raise the length of the side to the third power: if the side of a cube is 2, the volume is 2^3 or 8.
Why is the exponent 3 called cubed?
This is related to the fact that a cube has three dimensions. Basically, the volume of a cube is calculated by raising the length of a side to the third power.
How do you find the height of rectangular solid with a length of 6cm and width of 2cm?
If you know the volume in cu. cm, divide that volume by 12 to get the third dimension.
How do you find the length width and height with the volume?
Well, honey, to find the length, width, and height with the volume, you'll need to know the formula for the shape you're dealing with. For a rectangular prism, you can use the formula V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. Just plug in the volume and two of the dimensions, then solve for the third. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
When all dimensions are tripled what happens to the volume?
If linear dimensions are increased by a certain factor, the volume will increase by that same factor, raised to the third power - so, in this case, 3 to the power 3.
