We are given that the volume of a cube is 125 cubic inches. The formula for the volume of a cube is the following:


V=l^3

Where:


l=\text{ length}

Substituting the value of the volume we get:


125in^3=l^3

Now we solve for the length "l" by taking cubic root to both sides:


\sqrt[3]{125in^3}=\sqrt[3]{l^3}

Solving the operations:


5in=l

Therefore, the length of the cube is 5 inches.
