Understanding the Volume of a Cube

What is a cube in terms of geometry?

• A three-dimensional shape and a type of prism

• A type of pyramid

• A flat surface with no volume

• A two-dimensional shape

Why is the formula for the volume of a cube simplified to V = S^3?

• Because the sides of a cube are equal

• Because a cube is a two-dimensional shape

• Because a cube has no height

• Because the sides of a cube are different

If the side of a cube is 5 cm, what is its volume?

• 125 cm^3

• 25 cm^3

• 50 cm^3

• 15 cm^3

What unit should be used when expressing the volume of a cube?

• Square units

• No units

• Linear units

• Cubic units

In the example given, if the length of the cube is 4 inches, what is the volume?

• 64 in^3

• 16 in^3

• 48 in^3

• 32 in^3
