Answer: You would need 512 cubic centimetres
Step-by-step explanation: The first approach to this question would be to understand the properties of the shape given in the question.
If a cube has an edge with length 8 cm, then all edges measure 8 cm as well. That is one property of a cube. Hence, the length, width and height all measure 8 cm each.
The volume of a cube is given as follows;
V = L x W x H (and the answer is expressed as V³)
Since the length , width and height all measure 8 cm, the volume can simply be expressed as
V = L x L x L
V = L³
V = 8³
V = 512 cm³
Therefore to completely fill a cube with edge length of 8 cm you would need 512 cubic centimetres.
