Answer: julie


Step-by-step explanation: Cube is made up of square faces. The sides of a square equal.
The general formula of volume= Area of base X the height of the object
The area of the base of a cube (square) is calculated with the formula: Length X Length = L to the power of 2.
The area of the base must be multiplied by the height of the object to get the volume.

Julie is correct because LxWxH only applies to 2 dimensional shapes so therefore you need to use x to the power of 3 formula
