welshfella · Answer

the volume of a cube is obtained by multiply the width * length * height. As it is a cube all of these sides are equal. So we can write x^3 = 2197  which means
x * x * x = 2197. x is the cube root of 2197.

welshfella · Answer

( x is the length of the sides of the cube)

A simple cube is 8
2*2*2 = 8  -  therefore 2 is the cube root of 8.

So we need to find a number which mutliplied by itself 3 times gives 2197.  A scientific calculator will give you this.
