One side of a cube measures 1.55 m. The volume of this cube is ________ cm³. A)2.40 × 10⁴ B)3.72 × 10⁶ C)2.40 D)3.72 E)155

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to convert the length of one side from meters to centimeters:

1.55 m = 155 cm

Then, we can use the formula for the volume of a cube:

Volume = (side length)^3

Volume = (155 cm)^3

Volume = 3,720,875 cm^3

Finally, we need to express this answer in scientific notation with two significant figures, which gives us:

Volume = 3.72 × 10^6 cm^3

Therefore, the best choice is B, 3.72 × 10^16 cm^3.
