Question

Determine the volume of a cube whose width is 32.1 cm. Round your answer to the correct number significant figures.

Answer 1

The volume of a cube is given by:

$V=L^3$

where L is the measure of each side (which corresponds to its width, since all sides of a cube are equal).

Plugging the data of the problem, L=32.1 cm, inside the equation, we find the volume:

$V=L^3 =(32.1 cm)^3 =33076.2 cm^3$
