Question 554451: what is the length of a cube if the volume is 80 feet cubed?

a cube has all sides equal in length.
this makes the volume of the cube equal to s^3 where s represents the length of a side.
your equation is:
s^3 = 80
take the cube root of both sides of the equation to get:
root(3,s^3) = s = root(3,80) = 4.30886938
