Answer 1

To find the length of one side of a cube when you know its volume, you can use the formula for the volume of a cube:

\[
V = s^3
\]

where \( V \) is the volume and \( s \) is the length of one side of the cube.

Given that the volume \( V = 8 \, \text{in}^3 \), you can set up the equation:

\[
s^3 = 8
\]

Now, to find \( s \), take the cube root of both sides:

\[
s = \sqrt[3]{8}
\]

Calculating the cube root of 8, we find:

\[
s = 2 \, \text{in.}
\]

Therefore, the length of one side of the cube is \( 2 \, \text{in.} \)
