Answer:

the volume of the cube will be 44 cm³ or D (nearest whole number)

Explanation:

A cube has equal size of edges. Since it has a face diagonal of 5cm then using Pythagoras theorem s²+ s²= 5², where s is the side of the cube.

Therefore, 2s²=25

s²= 12.5

s = √12.5 = 3.536 cm

The volume of a cube is s³ (s×s×s) = 3.536³= 44.212 cm³,
