The box has a shape of cube. The volume of cube with side s in is

\(V_{cube}=s^3\ in^2.\)

Since Harriet uses a box of volume 216 cubic inches, then

\(V_{cube}=216\ in^3\)

and, therefore,

\(216=s^3.\)

Note that \(216=6^3,\) then

\(6^3=s^3,\\ \\s=6\ in.\)

Answer: the length of each side of the box is 6 inches.
