7=a^3

Given:

The volume of the cube = seven units.

Let a be the edge length of the cube.

Consider the formula for the volume of the cube.


V=a^3

Substitute V=7 in the formula, we get


7=a^3

Taking cubic root on both sides, we get


\sqrt[3]{7}=a
T\text{he edge length of the given cube is }\sqrt[3]{7}\text{ units.}

or


T\text{he edge length of the given cube is }1.91\text{ units.}
