126. A copper cube has a mass of 87.2 g. Find the edge length of the cube. (The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm³, and the volume of a cube is equal to the edge length cubed.) The $94 million Mars Climate Orbiter was lost in the Martian atmosphere in 1999 because two groups of engineers failed to communicate with each other about the units in their calculations.
