What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 1.5

Question

in.? Express your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Answer 1

The volume \( V \) of a cube can be calculated using the formula:

\[ V = s^3 \]

where \( s \) is the side length of the cube. In this case, the side length \( s \) is 1.5 inches.

Calculating the volume:

\[ V = (1.5)^3 = 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 \]

Calculating step by step:

1. First, calculate \( 1.5 \times 1.5 \): \[ 1.5 \times 1.5 = 2.25 \]

2. Next, multiply \( 2.25 \) by \( 1.5 \): \[ 2.25 \times 1.5 = 3.375 \]

Therefore, the volume of the cube is:

\[ V = 3.375 , \text{cubic inches} \]

Rounded to the nearest thousandth, the volume is:

\[ \boxed{3.375} \]
