Question

What is the volume of a cube with 1/2 inch sides

Answer 1

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cube?

V = s x s x s where s = the length of a side

V = .5 x.5 x.5 = .125

Answer 2

Answer:

Volume of a cube(V) is equal to side times side times side. i.e

$V=s\times s\times s = s^3$ cubic unit ; where s represents the side.

Since each side of a square is the same then, it can simply be the length of one side cubed.

Given:

The side of cube(s) = $\frac{1}{2}$ inch

then,

by the definition of volume of cube;

$V= s \times s \times s$

Substitute the value of s in above formula;

$V =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2 \times 2 \times 2}$ =  $\frac{1}{8}$ cubic inches

therefore, the volume of cube is, $\frac{1}{8}$ = 0.125 cubic inches.
