You think it would be a great idea to market 22 gallon aquarium that is perfect cube. estimate the dimensions and then check your guess to see how close you can get . What operation do you need to know to get an exact answer?
Common aquarium holds 10 gallons. I know volume of a right rectangular tank is found by multiplying the length of the tank times the width times the height, or V=lwh. I know 231 cubic inches are equal to 1 gallon.

-----
Total volume = 22*231 = 5082 cu in
-----
Since the aquarium is a cube all the dimensions are the same.
Each side is cbrt(5082) = 17.19 inches
