Answer:
The edge length of the shipping container is 14 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume enclosed by a cube is the number of cubic units that will exactly fill a cube.
To find the volume of a cube we need to recall that a cube has all edges the same length. The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length of any edge by itself twice. Or as a formula:
[tex]V=s^3[/tex]
where, s is the length of any edge of the cube.
To find the edge length of the shipping container we use the fact that the volume of a cube shaped shipping container is 2744 in³ and the above formula.
[tex]2744=s^3\\\\s^3=2744\\\\s=\sqrt[3]{2744}\\\\s = 14\:in[/tex]
