To calculate the volume of a cube, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = s^3 \]
where \( s \) is the length of one side of the cube.
Steps to Solve for the Volume of a Cube:
-
Measure the Side Length: Determine the length of one side of the cube.
-
Cube the Length: Multiply the side length by itself twice. In mathematical terms, raise it to the power of 3 (i.e., multiply it by itself three times).
-
Result: The result you obtain is the volume of the cube.
Example:
If the side length of the cube is 3 units:
\[ \text{Volume} = 3^3 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 \text{ cubic units} \]
So, the volume of the cube is 27 cubic units.
