Solution:

Suppose you are measuring a moving box to see if it has enough room in it.

The moving box is a cube.

Given that the length of one side is 2 ft. long, i.e.

$l=2\text{ ft}$

To find the volume of a cube, the formula is

Substitute for l into the formula above

$\begin{gathered} V=l^3=2^3=8\text{ ft}^3 \\ V=8\text{ ft}^3 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the volume of the box is 8 ft³
