what number times itself 3 times is 125?

phi · Answer

look on your calculator for$$\sqrt[3]{ }$$

sasogeek · Answer

a cube is a box with all the sides equal.
the volume of a cube is one side times itself 3 times.
|dw:1345841220088:dw|
volume = x * x * x

since there's is two of them, except for each of them, the value of x is different (so for one lets say one side is x, and for the other box the side is y, when u have to find the similarity ratio, u need only one side. to do that u need to find the cube root of the given values.

answer = cube root of 125 : cube root of 216
           =         x                :         y
