Answer:

5.5 yd

Explanation:

To find the side length of the cube, the volume is a clue. We know that all sides of a square are equal, and the volume of a cube is length×width×height. Since the length, width and height are all the same, we know it is V=x³. Since we know the volume, we can plug in and solve for x.

166=x³

In order to get x alone, we have to cube root both sides.

x≈5.5 yd
