Answer:

6 yards

Explanation:

The volume of a cube can be found using the following formula.

v= s^3

We know the volume is 216 cubic yards, so we can substitute 216 yd³ in for v.

216 yd^3=s^3

We want to find the side length. Therefore, we must isolate the variable, s, on one side of the equation.

s is being cubed. The inverse of cubed is the cube root. Take the cube root of both sides of the equation.

$\sqrt[3]{216 yd^3}=\sqrt[3]{s^3}$

$\sqrt[3]{216yd^3}=s$

6yd=6

The side length of the cube is 6 yards.
