Since a cube has six equal sides, we know that each side has an area of 1 square yard (since 6 divided by 6 equals 1). To find the volume of the cube, we need to multiply the length, width, and height:
Volume = length x width x height
Since all sides of a cube are equal, the length, width, and height are all the same. Let's call this measurement "s" for side length.
Volume = s x s x s
Volume = s^3
We know that the area of one of the sides is 1 square yard, so:
1 square yard = s^2
Solving for "s", we get:
s = 1 yard
Now we can plug this value into the formula for volume:
Volume = s^3 = 1 yard x 1 yard x 1 yard = 1 cubic yard
Therefore, the volume of this cube is 1 cubic yard.
The surface area of this cube is 6 square yards. What is the volume?
