What is the Volume of a Cube?

Volume of a cube = (side length)³.

The cube with the volume of 125 cubic ft will have a side length of:

∛125 = 5 ft.

If the side is increased by 5 ft, the new sdie length would be: 5 + 5 = 10 ft.

Volume of the new cube = 10³ = 1,000 cubic ft.

New volume/old volume = 1000/125 = 8.

This means that: C. volume will be 8 times greater.
