hi honestly speaking i have no idea how to even start this problem but i know that a cube is to the 3rd power here is the problem
Denis is designing a storage box in the shape of a cube.Each side of the box has a length of 10 inches. she needs more room anddecides to constructa largerbox in the shape of a cube with a volume of 2,000 cubic inches. By how many inches to the nearest tenth should she increse the length of each side of the original box?

Here is the formula for the volume of a cube:

\(\displaystyle V \;=\; s^3\)

\(\displaystyle \text{where V is the cube's volume, and s is the length of each edge}\)

Using this formula, you first need to find the value for s that makes s[sup:2u99qppt]3[/sup:2u99qppt] = 2000.

That length will be a little more than 10 inches. They're asking you for the difference.

If you would like more help with this exercise, please show whatever work you can (even if you think it's wrong), OR ask specific questions for what you're thinking about this exercise.
