A farmer is building a grain silo for storage. He estimates that will need 256 cubic yards of storage. The grain silo will be shaped as a cube. How long should one side of the grain silo be? (Recall that the volume of a cube is calculated by I^3 where I is the length of one side).A. 2^3√2B. 2^3√4C. ^3√4D. 4^3√4
Well no I have 8 digit phone number !
The answer is the cube root of 256 = 6.350 yards (approx). None of the answer choices equals that figure: B, C and D give values that are non-fractional and A equates to 11.312. I think you have a trick question there - or you've copied it down wrong.
