Let's remember the equation for the volume of a cube:
V= x^3 where x is the length of one side
Since a cube has equal length for length, width, and height.

Now, use what you're given
V= 1331

And put that in terms of x
x^3 = 1331

Now solve for x!
x= cube root (1331)

Think about it! cube root of 1331 * cube root of 1331 * cube root of 1331... will equal 1331 m^3!

Hope this helps
