Hi there!

To find the volume of a cube, we must multiply its length, width and height. In a formula:

volume = l * w * h

We can now plug in the data from the question into the formula. In this case it doesn't matter what exactly the width or length or height is [I mean their position in the formula], since we're multiplying.

volume = 5.5 * 3 * 2 = 33

Hence, the volume of the cube is 33 cm^3. In words: thirty-three cubic centimetres.
~ Hope this helps you!

Hello!

The formula for finding volume volume of a rectangular prism or cube:

l × w × h

That means you have to multiply the 3 numbers together.

5.5 × 3 × 2 = 33

The volume of the cube is 33 cm³
