boxes

 

Two rectangular boxes have the same volume. One box is a cube, and the other box had dimensions 8 ft by 4 ft by 12 ft. How many feet long is an edge of the cube?     

 

  Volume_generally  =  L x W x D     

                        V  =  8 ft x 4 ft x 12 ft     

                        V  =  384 ft³     

 

  Volume_cube  =  (any side)³     

          384 ft³  =  s³     

                   s  =  cuberoot(384) ft    

                   s  ≈  7.2685 ft
