Volume is measured in "cubic" units. The volume of a figure is the number of cubes required to fill it completely, like blocks in a box.
V = length * width * height
Let x = measure of length * width * height

125 = x^3

Take the cube root of both sides of the equation.

cuberoot{125} = cuberoot{x^3}

5 = x

Your rectangular box is actually a square with length 5, width 5 and height 5.
