Detailed Solution

The nuclear radius is approximately proportional to the cube root of the mass number (A) of the nucleus and the nucleons arranged in more spherical configurations.
Since the number of nucleons (i.e., the mass number) would be proportional to the volume of such a nucleus (again, to first order), the radius would therefore be proportional to the cube root of the volume and, consequently, the cube root of the number of nucleons.
