Math Problem Statement

Which expression could represent the volume of this cube?

s3

s2

3 • s2

6 • s3

Solution

The volume VV of a cube is given by the formula:

V=s3V = s^3

where ss is the length of one side of the cube. The expression that represents the volume of the cube is:

s3\mathbf{s^3}

The other expressions don't match the formula for the volume:

  • s2s^2 represents the area of one face of the cube.
  • 3s23 \cdot s^2 could represent the total area of three faces of the cube.
  • 6s36 \cdot s^3 does not correspond to any standard geometrical property of the cube.

  2. How do you find the diagonal length of a cube?
  3. How does the volume formula change for a rectangular prism?
  4. What is the relationship between side length and volume for similar cubes?
  5. How would you calculate the side length of a cube if its volume is known?

Tip: Remember, the units of volume are always cubic, like cm3\text{cm}^3 or m3\text{m}^3, since volume is a three-dimensional measurement.
