V+=+s%5E3


136+=+s%5E3 Plug in the given volume


s%5E3+=+136


s+=+root%283%2C136%29 take the cube root of both sides


s+=+%28136%29%5E%281%2F3%29%5E%22%22 Convert to rational exponent form


s+=+5.14256318131648 Use a calculator (this is approximate)


The cube has approximate side lengths of 5.14256318131648
