The volume of a cube is 64 cm3. The side of the cube is

We know that the Volume of a cube = a3 where a is the side of the cube.


But given Volume of cube = 64 cm3


a3 = 64


Prime Factorization of 64:



64 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2


= 23 × 23


= 43


a3 = 43


Powers are equal, so bases must be equated.


a = 4 cm (Side of the cube)
