Problem

The length of a side of a cube is measured to be 6 cm, correct to the nearest 1 cm. Find the upper limit of the volume of the cube.

Solution

Hints:

274 cm³

Upper limit of side = 6 + 0.5 = 6.5 \\text{ cm}. Volume = 6.5^3 = 274.625 \\text{ cm}^3, which rounds to 274 \\text{ cm}^3 (to 3 significant figures).
