Of two problems of this post, I will solve only first one.
Let x be the length og the base edge.
Then the volume of the pyramid is = x^3.
Hence, the volume equation is
x^3 = 64.
Its solution is x = = 4.
ANSWER. The length of the base edge of the pyramid is 4 centimeters.
Solved and clearly explained.
