The answer is: "7.268 cm" .
________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
________________________
Since the formula for the volume, "V", of a cube, is:

V = s³ ;

in which: "s" = side length of a cube;

Given: "V = 384 cm³ " ; Plug this value into the formula; to solve for "s" ;

V = s³ ;

↔ s³ = V ;

s³ = V ;

s³ = 384 cm³ ;

Take the "cubic root" of EACH SIDE of the equation; to isolate "s" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "s" ;
_________________________________________________
∛(s³) = ∛ (384 cm³) ;

s = 7.2684823713285586 cm

Round to: 7.268 cm .
