Question

A cube has sides of 11.4 cm. What is its volume?

Answer 1

`1481.544"cm"^3`

Explanation:

The volume `V` of a box with length `l`, width `w`, and height `h` is given by `V = lwh`. A cube is a box whose length, width, and height are equal that is, `l=w=h`.

In the given case, then, we have the volume as

`V = lwh = (11.4"cm")(11.4"cm")(11.4"cm")`

`=(11.4"cm")^3`

`=11.4^3"cm"^3`

`=1481.544"cm"^3`
