Let length, width, and height be s.
Then diagonal of any face would be √( s² + s² ) = √( 2s² )
And we know that it measures √( 500 ) so that's sufficient for us to figure out the length of an edge of the cube. We do not need to worry about the diagonal of the cube.
Now we have to solve √( 500 ) = √( 2s² )
Square both sides:
500 = 2s²
Divide both sides by 2:
250 = s²
Take the square root of both sides:
√(250) = s ≈ 15.8113883
Rounding to nearest tenth:
s ≈ 15.8
Final answer: 15.8
Hope this helps.
