Answer: The length of one side = 1.5 feet

Explanation:

GIven: The shape of aquarium is square ( in 3d its cube).

Its volume = 3.375 cubic ft

Volume of cube =
(side)^3

i.e. side =
$(Volume)^(\frac13)$

Now, Side of aquarium =
$(3.375)^(\frac13) =(1.5^3)^(\frac13) =1.5$ [
1.5^3=3.375 ]

Hence, the length of one side of aquarium = 1.5 feet
