A company is making building blocks. Each building block is a cube and has volume 125/729 ft cubed. How long is each side of the building blocks?

Answer: The length of each side of the building block is 0.56 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A company is making building blocks. Each building block is a cube and has volume 125/729 ft cubed. Each of the building blocks has 6 faces which are squares, 8 vertices and 12 edges.

Since a square has all sides to be equal sides,

The volume of the cube = the volume of the building block =

Product of length, L, width, W and height, H.

Volume of the building block = L * W * H

Since length = width = height,

Volume of cube = L^3

From the information given,

Volume of a building block = 125/729ft cubed

L^3 = 125 / 729

Taking cube root of both sides of the equation,

L = cube root of 125/729

L = 5/9

= 0.56 feet
