The volume of a cube is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"V=s%5E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The maximum volume allowed is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"V%5Bmax%5D=10.015\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s%5E3=10.015\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s=2.155511\"$ $\"m\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If it was perfect,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s%5E3=10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s%5Bp%5D=2.154435\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"E=abs%28s%5Bp%5D-s%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"E=abs%282.154435-2.155511%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"E=0.001077\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the edge must be,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"s%5BI%5D=2.154+%2B-+0.001\"$ $\"m\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
