The volume of a cube shaped crate is 27 cubic  feet. What is the length of one edge of the crate?

To find the length of one edge of the cube, we can use the formula for the volume of a cube:

\[
V = s^3
\]

where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( s \) is the length of one edge.

Given that the volume \( V \) is 27 cubic feet, we substitute this into the equation:

\[
27 = s^3
\]

To find \( s \), take the cube root of both sides:

\[
s = \sqrt[3]{27} = 3
\]

So, the length of one edge of the crate is **3 feet**.

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. What is the surface area of the crate if each edge is 3 feet long?
2. How would the volume change if the edge length doubled?
3. What is the diagonal length of one face of the cube?
4. If the crate were filled with water, how much would it weigh (in pounds) if water weighs about 62.4 lbs per cubic foot?
5. How much material would be required to construct the crate if its walls are 1 inch thick?

**Tip:** The surface area of a cube can be found by the formula \(6s^2\), where \(s\) is the edge length.
