What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cube?

V = s x s x s where s = the length of a side

V = .5 x.5 x.5 = .125

Answer:

Volume of a cube(V) is equal to side times side times side. i.e

\(V=s\times s\times s = s^3\) cubic unit ; where s represents the side.

Since each side of a square is the same then, it can simply be the length of one side cubed.

Given:

The side of cube(s) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) inch

then,

by the definition of volume of cube;

\(V= s \times s \times s\)

Substitute the value of s in above formula;

\(V =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2 \times 2 \times 2}\) =  \(\frac{1}{8}\) cubic inches

therefore, the volume of cube is, \(\frac{1}{8}\) = 0.125 cubic inches.
