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 diagonal of the cube.
Now we have to solve √( 500 ) = √( 2s² )
Square both sides:
500 = 2s²
Divide both sides by 2:
250 = s²
Take square root of both sides:
√(250) = s ≈ 15.8113883
Rounding to nearest tenth:
s ≈ 15.8
Final answer: 15.8
Hope this helps.
