The problem in the image asks to find the volume of a cube with side length $s = 0.5$ centimeters. The formula for the volume of a cube is:

$V = s^3$

Substituting $s = 0.5$:

$V = (0.5)^3 = 0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 0.125 \, \text{cubic centimeters}$

So, the volume of the cube is 0.125 cubic centimeters.

Would you like further details on this or have any other questions?

Here are five related questions to expand on this concept:

1. What is the volume of a cube with side length $1 \, \text{cm}$?
2. How would the volume change if the side length was doubled?
3. Can you express the volume of a cube in terms of its surface area?
4. What happens to the volume if you increase the side length by a factor of 3?
5. How does the volume of a cube compare to the volume of a rectangular prism with the same side lengths?

Tip: The volume of a cube increases dramatically as the side length increases, since the formula involves cubing the side length.
