Question

Each side of a cube measures 5 cm in length. What is the cubes volume?

Answer 1

Hello there!

Answer:

125 cm^3

Explanation:

In order to find the answer for your question, we would use the volume for a cube formula.

That formula is: V = a^3

The "^3" means cubed, or a exponent of 3.

We would plug in the side length of the cube, and that is 5.

V = 5^3

Then you would solve.

5^3 is the same thing as 5 × 5 × 5. And when you solve that, you would get 125.

Now don't forget to put your units, because that is what teachers usually mark points off for. In your case, units would be cm. After the units, we would use the exponent of 3 (or cubed) to represent the volume.

When you put that all together, your answer should be:

125 cm^3

Answer 2

Answer:

Your answer would be 125 cm³

Explanation:

In order to find the volume of a cube, we would need to use the right formula to find the volume for it.

Volume of a cube formula:

`V = a^(3)`

For our "a" value, we would need to plug in our side value, and for you case, the side value would be 5.

In a cube, all of the sides would be the same size, so you don't have to worry about using any different numbers.

Lets plug in 5 to our equation.

`V = 5^(3)`

Now we solve:

`5^(3) = 125\\`

This is also the same as:

`5 *5*5 = 125`

Your FINAL answer should be 125 cm³
