Math Problem Statement

Find the volume of the figure. Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. The side lengths are each 3 meters.

Solution

To find the volume of a cube, we use the formula:

V=s3V = s^3

where ss is the length of each side of the cube. Here, each side is given as 3m3 \, \text{m}.

Substitute s=3ms = 3 \, \text{m} into the formula:

V=33=3×3×3=27m3V = 3^3 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 \, \text{m}^3

Answer:

The volume of the cube is 27m327 \, \text{m}^3.

Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. How would the volume change if the side length was doubled?
  2. What is the surface area of this cube?
  3. How would you find the volume if it was a rectangular prism instead of a cube?
  4. What is the formula for the volume of a cylinder, and how does it differ from the cube?
  5. If the side length was 4 m, what would the volume be?

Tip: Remember, for cubes, the volume grows significantly with increases in side length, as it’s a cubic function.
