The display after stacking of 6 layers of cube is 30 inches high.

Explanation:

The volume of cubic box used by Abbey= 125 inch³

Total no of layer he has in display= 6

Height of the display-

We know that the volume of the cube is a³

Where a is the side of the cube

Hence to find the side of the cubic box we need to find the cube root of the volume i.e. ∛125

Hence the side of each cube is 5 inch. Since all the sides for cube are equal hence the height would also be 5 inch

The total height of the display would be 6*5= 30 inches
