What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 centimeters
A. 6 square centimeters
B. 27 cubic centimeters
C. 9 square centimeters
D. 3 cubic centimeters
The formula for the volume of a cube is V = s^3, where s is the side length.
Given that the side length is 3 centimeters, we can substitute this value into the formula:
V = 3^3 = 27 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the answer is B. 27 cubic centimeters.
To calculate the volume of a cube, we need to multiply the side length by itself three times (since volume is measured in cubic units).
Given that the side length of the cube is 3 centimeters, we can calculate the volume as follows:
Volume = (side length) ^ 3
Volume = 3^3
Volume = 27 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 27 cubic centimeters.
