Question

T&L - Math 7 - Volume 7.4 -19-20

Answer 1

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.
