Volume of cube calculation


Volume of cube calculation:
Problem:

A child playing with building blocks, which are of the shape of cubes, has built a structure as shown in Fig. below the edge of each cube is 3 cm, find the volume of the structure built by the child.


Solution:

Volume of a Cube = edge × edge × edge = a3

Solution : Volume of each cube = edge × edge × edge= 3 × 3 × 3 cm3
= 27 cm3 Number of cubes in the structure = 15 Therefore,
volume of the structure = 27 × 15 cm3 = 405 cm3


(here cm3 is cm to the power three)
