Let’s let L be the length of the box, this is what we’re told:

The width of the box = L,

and the height of the box = (1/2)L.

Recall: The volume of a box is: Length * Width * Height,

which, in this case, is 1000cm^3. In other words,

L * L * (1/2)L = 1000

=> (1/2)L^3 = 1000

=> L^3 = 2000

=> L ~ 12.6 cm

Therefore, the length of the box is approximately 12.6cm.

In other words,

the length of the box is approximately 12.6 cm;

the width of the box is approximately 12.6 cm;

the height of the box (which is 12.6cm / 2) is approximately 6.3 cm.
