a. Since 125 is a perfect cube, the length of each edge of the cube can be found. Each edge is 5 centimeters long (³√125 = 5).

b. The square hole has side length √10 ≈ 3.16 cm (because area = side² = 10). The cube’s edge (5 cm) is larger than 3.16 cm, so the block will not fit through the square hole.
