Question

brenna goes on a cave tour with her family.she spots a mysterious crystal that is shaped like a cube the crystal has edge lengths of 5 centimeters what is the volume of the crystal

Answer 1

The volume of the crystal is
`V=125 \:cm^3`.

Explanation:

The volume enclosed by a cube is the number of cubic units that will exactly fill a cube.

To find the volume of a cube recall that a cube has all edges the same length. The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length of any edge by itself three times. Or as a formula

`V=s^3`

where:

s is the length of any edge of the cube.

From the information given we know that the crystal has edge lengths of 5 centimeters. Therefore, the volume of the crystal is

`V=5^3=125 \:cm^3`.
