Volumes of solids are a function of more than one dimension in most cases.
eg, for a cylinder it's:
Vol+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
If one dimension is known, eg, r, you can find h, but it's not possible to find both dimensions when only the volume is known.
------------
A sphere is a function of the radius only
V+=+4%2Api%2Ar%5E3%2F3
700+=+4%2Api%2Ar%5E3%2F3
r%5E3+=+525%2Fpi
r =~ 5.508 units
