\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the length og the base edge.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the volume of the pyramid is   = x^3.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the volume equation is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x^3 = 64.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Its solution is  x =  = 4.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The length of the base edge of the pyramid is 4 centimeters.\r\n" );
