Answer:
The side length of the rectangular prism is 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the rectangle prism = L × W × H, where
If the 3 dimensions of the rectangular prism are equal, then its
volume = L × L × L = L³
In the question
∵ The rectangular prism has a volume = 8 ft³
∵ The question asks for its side length
→ That means all dimensions are equal
∴ V = L³
→ Substitute V by 8
∴ 8 = L³
→ Take cube root for both sides
∴ ∛8 = ∛(L³)
∴ 2 = L
∴ L = 2 ft
The side length of the rectangular prism is 2 feet
