Question

1. find the volume of a cube measuring 5 cm on each side.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the volume of a cube.

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

Step2: Substitute the given side length into the formula.

Given that the side length \( s = 5 \, \text{cm} \), we substitute this into the formula: \( V = (5 \, \text{cm})^3 \).

Step3: Calculate the volume.

\( (5 \, \text{cm})^3 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 \, \text{cm}^3 = 125 \, \text{cm}^3 \).

Answer:

The volume of the cube is \( 125 \, \text{cubic centimeters} \) (or \( 125 \, \text{cm}^3 \)).
