Answer:

Small cube: 4 feet

Large cube: 12 feet

Explanation:

So, for the small cube, we know that side x side x side will equal 64, the volume.

4 x 4 x 4 = 64, so 4 is the side length for the small cube.

For the large cube, it is just the small side multiplied by 3.

So, 4 x 3 = 12, the length of the larger cube's side.
