VOLUME OF A CUBE
DEFINITION:Volume - the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object as measured in cubic units.
Illustration:
Formula:
V = S * S * S = S3
where:
S = side
Problems:
1. Find the volume of a cube whose side measures 2 meters.
Given:
S = 2 meters.
Required: Volume
Solution:
V = S * S * S = S3
= 2 m * 2 m * 2 m
2. What is the volume of a cube whose one side measures 3 feet?
Given:
S = 3 ft..
Required: Volume
Solution:
V = S * S * S = S3
= 27 cubic feet; final answer
3.The side of a cube has a measure of 4 inches. What is its dimension?
S = 4 in.
Required: Volume
Solution:
V = S * S * S = S3
3.The side of a cube has a measure of 4 inches. What is its dimension?
Given:
S = 4 in.
Required: Volume
Solution:
V = S * S * S = S3
= 4 in. * 4 in. * 4 in.
= 64 cubic inch; final answer
