Answer:

6 inches

Explanation:

Step 1

Find the volume of the display case

From the above question:

Volume of the small ball = 8 inches

Volume of the free space inside the display case = 208 cubic inches

Volume of the display case = Volume of small ball + Volume of free space

= 8 cubic inches + 208 cubic inches

= 216 cubic Inches

Step 2

How tall is the display case?

The display case is shaped like a square. Hence,

The length of the display case = cube root (Volume of the display case)

= cube root(216 cubic inches)

= 6 inches

Therefore, the length of the cubic display case = 6 inches
