Answer:

s = 6 feet

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the cube, V = 216 feet³

We need to find the side length for the cubical box. We know that the volume of the cube is given by :


V=s^3, s is the side length of the box.

So,


s={V}^(1/3)\\\\s={216}^(1/3)\\\\s=6\ feet

So, the side length for the cubical box is equal to 6 feet.
