What are the cubic dimensions of one gallon (U.S.)? (If one gallon was made into a perfect cube, what would it's dimensions be?) I bet it's harder to figure out than you think.

1 gallong of water = 3.7854117 L
3785.4 cm cubed. total volume.
take the cube root of that
15.58 cm x 15.58cm x 15.58 cm 1 inch =2.54 cm (exactly)
6.134 In x 6.134 In x 6.134 In

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liters
Given that measurement, and the fact that metric volumes are based upon even volumes of metric length, it's not hard to figure out from there.
Do a unit analysis.

1 US galllon = 3.7854118 liters (google)= 0.0037854118 m3
cube root of that number = 0.155849128187 m = 15.5849128187 cm
= 6.135792448307 of your inches to a side.

Nah, it's easy. Type into Google this:
1 gallon to cubic inch
and Goolgle will say this:
1 US gallon = 231.000001 cubic inch

And in order to convert the cubic inches into actual dimensions of a cube, you take the cube root of 231.000001 in3.
I'd figure that out, but I've forgotten where I stowed my Ti-83+ for the summer.

US units are so amazing stupid. When do you guys plan to use the metric system?

Use google again: "search" for 231^(1/3)

Let's just assume we're talking about a 1-gallon container here. There's no difference between a gallon jug of water at 20 degrees C and a gallon jug of mercury at 150 degrees C. They're both in a bloody 1-gallon jug.
The gas laws don't apply to a solid container, because they're the GAS laws , not the solid laws
