Respuesta :
The box has a shape of cube. The volume of cube with side s in is
[tex]V_{cube}=s^3\ in^2.[/tex]
Since Harriet uses a box of volume 216 cubic inches, then
[tex]V_{cube}=216\ in^3[/tex]
and, therefore,
[tex]216=s^3.[/tex]
Note that [tex]216=6^3,[/tex] then
[tex]6^3=s^3,\\ \\s=6\ in.[/tex]
Answer: the length of each side of the box is 6 inches.
