Answer:

Measurements of each side of the dual in terms of x will be x∛2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the side of the original cube is x units, then its volume will be,
V = x^(3) cubic units.

Now, volume of its dual is
2V = 2x^(3) cubic units.

Therefore, if I would like to build the dual of the original cube that fits inside another cube, then the measurement of each side of this dual cube is X units.

So, volume of the dual cube
V' = X^(3) = 2x^(3)

⇒ X = x∛2 units. (Answer)
