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.
