in.? Express your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.(1 point)
in.3

1 answer

To find the volume of a cube, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{side length}^3 \]

Given the side length of the cube is \(1.5\) in., we calculate the volume as follows:

\[ \text{Volume} = (1.5)^3 = 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 \]

Calculating step by step:

  1. \(1.5 \times 1.5 = 2.25\)
  2. \(2.25 \times 1.5 = 3.375\)

Thus, the volume of the cube is \(3.375\) in³.

Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{3.375} \text{ in}^3 \]
