for a cube of side s, the volume is s^3
that's why the third power is called "cubed"!
But, since when do cubes have diameters?
So, I need to find the mass of a cube. I have diameter of 16.4 micrometers, and density of 1,000 kg/m3. I can find all kinds of formulas for spheres, but not for cubes?

THis is the question posed to me by mi bio teacher. THe more specific of it it is, "find the masss of a liver cell, assuming it has the shape of a cube, with the diameter and density of water."
