Harriet needs to ship a small vase. The box she will use has a volume of 216 cubic inches. If the side lengths are all the same, what is the length of each side of the box?

Thank yiu Ms. Sue - now I understand...
Thank you I meant...:)
You're welcome, Deborah. :-)
To find the length of each side of the box, you need to calculate the cube root of the volume.
In this case, the volume of the box is given as 216 cubic inches.
To find the length of each side, you can use the formula:
Length of each side = cube root of volume
So, in this case, you need to take the cube root of 216 cubic inches.
The cube root of a number can be found using a scientific calculator or by using online cube root calculators.
Using a scientific calculator, you can find the cube root of 216 as follows:
1. Enter 216 into the calculator.
2. Find the cube root function (often denoted as "∛" or "cube root").
3. Press the cube root function key/button.
4. The calculator should display the cube root of 216, which is 6.
Therefore, the length of each side of the box is 6 inches.
