Question

Han has 10 cubes, each 5 inches on a side. Find the total volume of Han's cudes Express your answer as an expression using an exponent.

Answer 1

2 * 5⁴

Explanation:

Given :

Number of cubes = 10

Side length, a of each cube = 5

The volume of a cube = (side length)³

Hence, the volume of each of Han's cube = 5³

Therefore, the total volume will be :

Volume or cube * number of cubes

5³ * 10

10 = 2 * 5 = 2 * 5¹

5³ * 2 * 5¹

2 * 5^(3 +1)

2 * 5⁴
