The cube root of the volume of a cube gives the length of one side of the cube.
a.) find the side length of the cube
.
b.) find the area of each face of the cube.
(volume=343cm cube)

The problem states that "the cube root of the volume of a cube gives the length of one side of the cube." 
a, find the side length of the cube:
 It tells you that the volume is V = 343 cm^3.
 So take the cube root. Do you know how to do that on your calculator. Punch in 343, hit the y^x key
 and type in 0.333333... . My calculator returns 7.0 and you can check that by 7x7x7 = 343.
So the length of the side of the cube is 7.0 cm. 
b. If the sides iare 7.0 cm, then the area of a face is length x width = 7 x 7 ?? square cm it will be 49 cm2

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.
