Question

A certain quantity of wood costs rs 250 per m^3. a solid cubical block of such wood is bought for rs182.25. calculate the volume of the block and use method of factors to find one edge of the cube
​

Answer 1

1 m^3 = ₹250

Using unitary method

Let x be the volume of the wood of 182.25₹

182.25/250 = x / 1

0.729m^3=x

As all sides in a cube are equal and volume =side X side X side

Side = cube root of volume

=> cube root 0.729

=0.9 metre side
