Question

write an expression to represent the volume of 2 flowerpots with side lengths, 6 inches. volume of 2 flowerpots = 2s³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Volume of Cube

The flowerpot is a cube (since length, width, height are all 6 in). Volume of a cube is \( V = s^3 \), where \( s \) is side length. For \( s = 6 \), volume of one flowerpot is \( 6^3 \).

Step2: Volume of Two Flowerpots

To find volume of 2 flowerpots, multiply volume of one by 2. So the expression is \( 2\times6^3 \) (or \( 2\cdot6^3 \)).

Answer:

\( 2 \cdot 6^3 \) (or \( 2\times6^3 \))
