Question

What's the volume of a cube that is 5 inches by 5 inches

Answer 1

A cube

A cube is a solid three-dimensional figure, which has 6 square faces or sides. The volume of a cube will be the total space occupied by it. Since all the faces of the cube are square in the shape, hence, the length of edges will also be equal. Therefore, the length, width and height of the cube are of equal length.

If length, width and height of cube is equal to ‘a’, then;

`V_{\text{cube}}=a* a* a(cubic\text{ units)}`

The question given has a cube with dimension 5 inches by 5 inches

The volume would be:

`V_{\text{cube}}=5in*5in*5in`
`V_{\text{cube}}=125in^3_{}`

Hence, the volume of the given cube is 125 cubic inches
