\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of cube=a}^3 \\ \text{where 'a' represent one side of the cube} \end{gathered}
\text{Edge length of cube is }(1)/(2)cm

Thus,


\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of cube=(}(1)/(2))^3 \\ \text{Volume of cube=}(1)/(8)cm^3 \end{gathered}

80 cubes will have a volume of:


80*(1)/(8)=10

Hence, the volume of the prism is 10 cubic metre
