A+=+6%2Av%5E%282%2F3%29
12+=+6%2Av%5E%282%2F3%29
v%5E%282%2F3%29+=+2
cube both sides
v%5E2+=+8
take the square root of both sides
v+=+2%2Asqrt%282%29ft3 answer

The formula A = 6v^(2/3) gives the surface area a cube in terms of its volume V. What is the volume of a cube with surface area 12 square feet?
-----------------
12 = 6v^(2/3)
2 = v^(2/3)
v = 2^(3/2)
v = 2sqrt2
