The length of the block = 1ft.
The volume of the length of the side of blocks = 1ft^3
The 3 on the one feet means raised to power 3.
So, 1ft raised to power 3:
[tex]1ft^3\text{ = 1ft }\times\text{ 1ft }\times\text{ 1ft}[/tex]To get the length, we would assume the block is a cube
The volume of a cube = length^3
1 ft^3 = length^3
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{cube root both sides:} \\ \sqrt[3]{1ft^3}\text{ = }\sqrt[3]{length^3} \\ \text{length = }\sqrt[3]{(1\text{ft}}\times1ft\times1ft) \\ \text{length = 1ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the length of the block = 1ft.
