thanks ms.sue
You're welcome.
To find the length of each side of the box, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Given that the volume of the box is 216 cubic inches, and assuming the side lengths are equal, we can represent all three dimensions as 'x'. So, the equation becomes:
216 = x * x * x
To solve for 'x', we need to find the cube root of 216. Here's how you can do it:
1. Use a calculator or a search engine to find the cube root of 216. Simply type "cube root of 216" into a search engine, and it will give you the answer.
The cube root of 216 is 6. Therefore, each side length of the box is 6 inches.
