A solid cubical block of fine wood costs 256 at 500 per m3. Find its volume and the length of each side.
It is given that,
Cost of wood = Rs. 500/m3
Also,
Cost of the given block = Rs 256
We know that,
Volume of cube = a3
Therefore,
Volume of the given block = a3 =
= 0.512 m3
= 512000 cm3
Also,
Length of its edge = a =
= 0.8 m
= 80 cm
