Solution Steps
To find the edge length of a cube given its volume, we need to take the cube root of the volume. This can be expressed in two ways: using the cube root notation or using the exponent notation with a power of 1/3.
Solution Approach
The edge length of a cube with volume \( V \) can be found by taking the cube root of \( V \).
This can be expressed as \( \sqrt[3]{V} \) or \( V^{\frac{1}{3}} \).
Step 1: Calculate the Edge Length
To find the edge length \( s \) of a cube with a volume \( V = 2500 \, \text{in}^3 \), we use the formula for the volume of a cube, which is given by:
\[
V = s^3
\]
To solve for \( s \), we take the cube root of the volume:
\[
s = \sqrt[3]{V} = \sqrt[3]{2500}
\]
Step 2: Evaluate the Cube Root
Calculating the cube root of \( 2500 \):
\[
s \approx 13.5721
\]
This value can also be expressed using exponent notation:
\[
s = 2500^{\frac{1}{3}} \approx 13.5721
\]
Final Answer
The edge length of the cube can be expressed as either \( \sqrt[3]{2500} \) or \( 2500^{\frac{1}{3}} \). Thus, the answer is:
