Answer :
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
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
[tex]V=s\times s\times s = s^3[/tex] 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) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inch
then,
by the definition of volume of cube;
[tex]V= s \times s \times s[/tex]
Substitute the value of s in above formula;
[tex]V =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2 \times 2 \times 2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] cubic inches
therefore, the volume of cube is, [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] = 0.125 cubic inches.
