Step by Step Solution
Step 1
The picture below shows the cube with the sides (edges) of length L.
Step 2
Since the value of the volume is given, we substitute V with 64 in into the formula as shown:
Step 3
Now, to find L, we just need to find the cube root of 64 as shown. Since 64 = 4×4×4, it is clear that cube root of 64 is 4. Also, since the unit for the volume is in3, the unit for L will be in.
