Question 13

A sculpture is designed in the shape of a perfect cube. The artist specifies that the volume of the sculpture must be exactly 7 m37\text{ m}^37 m3. An architect claims that the side length of this cube, LLL, can be expressed as a rational number (a fraction of two integers in its simplest form).

Prove by contradiction that the architect's claim is false.
