Ms. Armstrong is a carpenter. She keeps her tools in a cube-shaped box in her truck. Ms. Armstrong's toolbox is 15 inches long on each side. What is the volume of her toolbox?

The volume \( V \) of a cube can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V = s^3
\]

where \( s \) is the length of one side of the cube.

Given that each side of Ms. Armstrong's toolbox is 15 inches, we substitute \( s = 15 \) inches into the formula:

\[
V = 15^3 = 15 \times 15 \times 15 = 3375 \, \text{cubic inches}
\]

Thus, the volume of Ms. Armstrong's toolbox is **3375 cubic inches**.

2. If the length of each side of the cube was doubled, what would the new volume be?
3. What is the relationship between the volume and surface area of a cube?
4. If the toolbox were a rectangular prism instead, how would the volume formula change?
5. How can you convert the volume from cubic inches to cubic feet?

**Tip:** The volume of a cube increases significantly when the side length increases due to the cubic exponent in the formula!

Learn how to calculate the volume of Ms. Armstrong's cube-shaped toolbox with sides of 15 inches. This problem involves basic geometry concepts such as the formula for the volume of a cube, V = s^3. The solution shows how to find the volume step-by-step. Suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
