Answer:

10 inches

Explanation:

The volume of a cube is of the form:
V=s^3 , where s is the side length.

Here, we know the volume V, but not the side length. So, we can plug in the value 1000 in for V and solve for s:

1000 =
s^3

Cube root both sides:

s =
\sqrt[3]{1000} =10

Thus, each side is 10 inches.

Hope this helps!
