    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.
