Andreas Orr · Answer 1

The box here is assumed to have equal side lengths so that it is a cube. The formula for the volume of a cube would be calculated by raising the side length to the power of 3. We calculate the value of the side lengths as follows:

V = s^3

216 = s^3

s = 6 in

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
