A company manufactures small, solid , plastic cubes they use the expression s to the 3 power where s is the length of a side to find the volume of plastic needed to make a cube. Luis claims that the volume of plastic needed to make a cube with side length of 8mm is 24 cubic mm. Do you agree with Luis? Explain

No because 8x8x8 is 516 and to find exponent is if it is 3 as exponent you times it by itself 3 times so the answer is no he is wrong
