Answer

$8$ square miles.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow f(x)=29x^{\frac{1}{3}}$ $f(x)=58$. Substitute the value of $f(x)$ into the given function. $\Rightarrow 58=29x^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Divide both sides by $29$. $\Rightarrow \frac{58}{29}=\frac{29x^{\frac{1}{3}}}{29}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2=x^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Cube both sides. $\Rightarrow (2)^3=(x^{\frac{1}{3}})^3$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 8=x$ Hence, the area is $8$ square miles.
