Given

each edge of a cube is 7.8 cm

Find out the best estimate for the volume of a cube.

To proof

As given in the question

each edge of a cube is 7.8 cm long

Let us assume the rounded up value of the edge of a cube.

Take each edge of a cube is 8cm

FORMULA

Volume of cube = a³

where a represent the length of one edge.

a = 8 cm

put this in the above formula

we get

Volume of cube = 8× 8× 8

= 512 cm³

Therefore the estimate for the volume of the cube is 512 cm³

option (c) is correct

Hence proved
