A cube measures 2 meters on each side.
What is the volume of the cube?
Draw yourself a square and place 2 on each side. What would you get if you multiplied the numbers?
Remember a square is equal on all sides. You cube or 4x the number of one side. Or 2^4
volume = length x width x height
= 2(2)(2) = 8
the volume of a cube is 125 cm3. what is the length of each side?
Take cube root
5
To find the volume of a cube, you need to know the length of one side (also called the edge) of the cube. In this case, the cube measures 2 meters on each side.
The formula to calculate the volume of a cube is:
Volume = (side length)^3
Substituting the given side length of 2 meters into the formula, we have:
Volume = (2 meters)^3
To simplify, we calculate the cube of 2 meters:
Volume = 2 meters × 2 meters × 2 meters = 8 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 8 cubic meters.
