Answer:


493.039 \;in^3

Explanation:

If each side of the cube is
a then the volume of the cube is given by
a^3

If Volume is
V then each side
a = \sqrt[3]{V}

Here we are given the volume of the smaller cube as
85\; in^3

So each side of this cube =
\sqrt[3]{85} = 4.396 \approx 4.4 \;in

and each side of the larger cube
= 4.4 + 3.5 = 7.9\;in

Volume of larger cube
= 7.9^3 = 493.039 \; in^3
