VOLUME OF A CUBE
Given the length of one side, call it a, the volume of a cube can be found by using the following formula:
Vcube = a3 = a × a × a
Example #1:
Find the volume if the length of one side is 2 cm
Vcube = 23
Vcube = 2 × 2 × 2
Vcube = 8 cm3
Example #2:
Find the volume if the length of one side is 3 cm
Vcube = 33
Vcube = 3 × 3 × 3
Vcube = 27 cm3
Example #2:
Find the volume if the length of one side is 3/2 cm
Vcube = (3/2)3
Vcube = 3/2 × 3/2 × 3/2
Vcube = (3 × 3 × 3)/(2 × 2 × 2) Vcube = 27/8 Vcube = 3.375 cm3
Example #1:
Find the volume if the length of one side is 2 cm
Vcube = 23
Vcube = 2 × 2 × 2
Vcube = 8 cm3
Example #2:
Find the volume if the length of one side is 3 cm
Vcube = 33
Vcube = 3 × 3 × 3
Vcube = 27 cm3
Example #2:
Find the volume if the length of one side is 3/2 cm
Vcube = (3/2)3
Vcube = 3/2 × 3/2 × 3/2
Vcube = (3 × 3 × 3)/(2 × 2 × 2) Vcube = 27/8 Vcube = 3.375 cm3
