Type the correct answer in each box.
Nathan has a sculpture in the shape of a pyramid. The height of the sculpture is 3 centimeters less than the side length, x, of its square base.
Nathan uses the formula for the volume of a pyramid to determine the dimensions of the sculpture:
V =äa2h
Here, ais the side length of the pyramid's square base and h is its height.
If 162 cubic centimeters of clay were used to make the sculpture, the equation x3 +
2+
= 0 can be used to find that the
length of the sculpture's base is
centimeters.
