Volume and Exponents Concepts

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a cube. It begins by introducing the concept of volume and the specific formula for a cube, which is the side length cubed. An example is provided where the side length is seven inches, leading to a calculated volume of 343 cubic inches. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the steps needed to find the volume of any cube.

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Width x Height

• Length x Width

• Length x Width x Height

• Length + Width + Height

Why is the volume of a cube calculated using the cube of its side length?

• Because all sides are different

• Because all sides are equal

• Because it is a circle

• Because it has no sides
