Write S (surface area) of a cube in terms of V (volume).
-------------
For a cube with sides of a,
V = a^3
S = 6a^2 (there are 6 faces, each a x a)
------------
V = a^3
a = cube root of V, = V^(1/3)
S = 6a^2
S = 6[V^1/3]^2
S = 6V^(2/3)
S = 6V/(cube root of V)
S = 6 times the cube root of V squared.
A useless thing to know, imo.

V = s^3, s= the cuberoot of V
