tyraw94: please show us your attempt at solving this.  Do you know the formulas for calculating the volumes of a rectangular prism and of a cube?  What do you get for the volume of this particular rectangular prism?  Set that volume equal to the formula for volume of a cube and solve for the length of the cube's side.
