A construction supervisor is calculating the volume of soil removed for two cubic pits. The total volume is represented by the expression v^3 + 8. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to factor this sum of cubes.

An architectural technician is calculating the volume of a decorative pillar composed of two cubic sections. The total volume is represented by the expression a^3 + b^3. To provide the factored dimensions for the fabrication team, which algebraic identity should the technician recall?

A logistics analyst is calculating the total capacity of two cubic storage bins represented by the expression $y^3 + 125$. To factor this expression using the sum of cubes formula $a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)$, the analyst must first identify the value of $b$. What is the numerical value of $b$?

A metal fabrication shop uses standardized algebraic templates to determine the linear dimensions of custom cubic storage bins based on their volume expressions. To ensure the templates are correctly used for manufacturing, match each part of the sum or difference of cubes factorization with its corresponding algebraic term.

A quality control technician in a metal fabrication plant is reviewing the algebraic templates used to calculate volume reductions in cubic molds. When factoring a difference of cubes expression in the form $a^3 - b^3$, the resulting trinomial factor $(a^2 + ab + b^2)$ contains only positive signs.
