A box in the shape of a cube has a volume of 64 cube inches. What is the length of a side of the box

The volume of a cube can be expressed as

Let V = volume

Let a = side length

V = a^3

We need to solve the formula to isolate the variable a. First, we must cube root each side.

∛ (V) = a. With our new formula, we plug in 64 cube inches into V.

∛ (64) = a.

4 = a.

The length of one side on our cube is 4 inches.
