Question

amelia has 2 cube - shaped flowerpots for her garden. in order to buy potting soil, she needs to find the volume of both flowerpots.
s = length (in.) of one side of a flowerpot
write an expression to represent the total volume of both cube - shaped flowerpots.

Explanation:

Step1: Find volume of one cube

The volume of a cube with side length \( s \) is given by the formula \( V = s^3 \) (since volume of a cube is side length cubed).

Step2: Find total volume for two cubes

Since there are 2 cube - shaped flowerpots, we multiply the volume of one cube by 2. So the total volume \( V_{total}=2\times s^3 = 2s^3 \).

Answer:

The expression to represent the total volume of both cube - shaped flowerpots is \( 2s^3 \).
