You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let s be the length of one side of the cube. The following equations apply:
Volume: V=s%5E3
Area: A=6s%5E2
-----------------------
You are given the area. Plug this into the area equation above and solve for s:
6s%5E2=294
s%5E2=49
s=7
-----------------------
Knowing s, you can now get the volume by plugging s into the volume equation above. I will leave that part to you.
