Linda built a cube out of 1-centimeter blocks, as shown below.
What is the volume of the cube?
Answer:
125 cubic centimeters
- On observing the figure carefully, we find that there are 5 one-centimeter blocks along the side of the cube.
So, the side of the cube = 5 × 1 centimeter = 5 centimeters
- Volume of the cube= (side × side × side) cubic units= (5 × 5 × 5) cubic centimeters= 125 cubic centimeters
- Thus, the volume of the cube is 125 cubic centimeters.
