Question

Select the correct volume.The volume of a cube is given by , s^3 where s is the side length of the cube. What is the difference of the volumes of two cubes with side lengths of 5 meters and 4 meters?

Answer 1

Given the cube volume formula:

`V=s^3`

If we have two cubes, one of side 5 m and the other of side 4 m, their corresponding volumes are:

`\begin{gathered} V_1=5^3=125 \\ V_2=4^3=64 \end{gathered}`

And the difference between them is:

`V_1-V_2=125-64=61\text{ cubic meters}`
