<p>If the volume of a cube is 8, what is the shortest distance from the center of the cube to the base of the cube? How is the answer 1?</p>
<p>Thanks, this problem is killing me, I thought the answer should be 1</p>
<p>if volume is 8, each side has length 2. therefore the distance from the center of the cube to any face is half the distance from face to face (on a straight line). half of 2 is 1. u know each side is 2 because it tells u it’s a cube. does that help?</p>
<p>I’m not entirely sure how you’re actually supposed to do this problem but if i were to do it I would do this </p>
<p>volume of a rectangular prism= lwh (common knowledge) on a cube length width and height are the same so for the volume to be 8 take the third root of 8 to find out l,w,and h </p>
<p>by doing that you know the l,w, and h are 2 to the center would be half this length or 1</p>
<p>Thanks guys I get it now.</p>
