Volume of cube =
(Side)^3
=> 30 =
(Side)^3

So, Side =
\sqrt[3]{30}

Side = 3.107232......... and goes on.

Cube root of 30 is not a natural number or a terminating decimal number.
It is a non-terminating decimal number. So, physically it is not possible to find an edge length that will give volume 30 cubic units
