Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangular prism has a volume equal to V=xyz. V=(1/3)3(5/3)=5/3 in^3. The cube has a volume equal to V=s^3. The volume of the cube is equal to the prism when
![s^3=(1/3)(3)(5/3)\\ \\ s^3=5/3\\ \\ s=\sqrt[3]{\frac{5}{3}}in\\ \\ s\approx 1.19in](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=s%5E3%3D%281%2F3%29%283%29%285%2F3%29%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20s%5E3%3D5%2F3%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20s%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%7Din%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20s%5Capprox%201.19in)
