Volume of a cube:

V=s^3, where s=side lengths.

Remember, all cubes by definition have congruent sides, so the length, width, and height must all be congruent. Let’s input the volume into the formula to solve for the dimensions:

(343)=s^3

We are given that the volume (V) equals 343m^3. Now, solve for “s” by taking the cube root:

3√343= 3√s^3

7=s

s=7

So, the side dimensions are 7m^3
