Answer:

Volume of a cube = side^3

Total Surface Area = side^2 * 6

if side = 5 inches then

Cube Volume = 5^3 = 125 cubic inches

Total Surface Area = 5^2 * 6 = 25 * 6 = 150 square inches

Answer: Volume of the cube : 125 cubic inches

total surface area :150 square inches

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem:

Since each side of a square is the same, the volume of a cube is simply be the length of one side cubed.

Volume: 5³= 125 cubic inches

The total surface area is the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of the object.

The surface area of a cube is the area of the six squares that cover it

Since the areas are all the same, you can multiply one of them by six .

So: area of 1 square : 5²= 25

total surface area : 25 x 6 = 150 square inches
