Question

Kara has a cube with side lengths of 4.2 cm. What is the volume of the cube?

Answer 1

`74.088" cm"^3`

Explanation:

The volume of a cube with side length `s` is `s^3`.

This is because the cube is a special case of a rectangular prism, whose volume is `lwh`. In the case of the cube, since all its sides are equal, the volme would be `s*s*s`, which equals `s^3`.

Since `s=4.2`, the volume is `4.2^3=74.088" cm"^3`.
