Three edges of a rectangular parallelepiped that go out from one vertex are equal to 1, 4 and 2

Three edges of a rectangular parallelepiped that go out from one vertex are equal to 1, 4 and 2. Find an edge of a cube of the same size.

Determine the volume of the parallelepiped ABCDA1B1C1D1.

V = AA1 * AB * AD = 2 * 1 * 4 = 8 cm3.

Since the cube is of equal size, its volume is equal to the volume of the parallelepiped.

In a cube, all edges are equal, then its volume is:

V = AB ^ 3.

AB = 3√8 = 2 cm.

Answer: The edge of an equal-sized cube is 2 cm.
