Explanation:


a^(2) + b ^(2) = c^(2)


[ (3a)^(3) ]^(2) +
[ (4a)^(3) ]^(2) = C^(2)

I'm assuming the length was
(3a)^(3), not 3
a^(3).

It was difficult to tell in your question.


(3a)^(6) +(4a)^(6) = C^(2)

729
a^(6) + 4096
a^(6) = C^(2)

4825
a^(6) = c^(2)

Take the square root of both sides.

69.4622
a^(3) ≈ c
