Let's solve the problem step by step based on the worksheet titled
"Volume - Cube".
---
A) Find the volume of each cube.
We are given three cubes with side lengths labeled. The formula for the
volume of a cube is:
>
Volume = side length³
> or
>
V = s³
---
####
1)
Cube with side length =
3 units
$$
V = 3^3 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27
$$
✔ Volume = 27 cubic units
---
####
2)
Cube with side length =
4 ft
$$
V = 4^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64
$$
✔ Volume = 64 cubic feet (ft³)
---
####
3)
Cube with side length =
5 in
$$
V = 5^3 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125
$$
✔ Volume = 125 cubic inches (in³)
---
B) Find the volume of each cube from the given side length.
Again, use $ V = s^3 $
---
####
4) Side length = 32 in
$$
V = 32^3 = 32 \times 32 \times 32
$$
First: $ 32 \times 32 = 1024 $
Then: $ 1024 \times 32 $
Break it down:
- $ 1000 \times 32 = 32,000 $
- $ 24 \times 32 = 768 $
- Total = $ 32,000 + 768 = 32,768 $
✔ Volume = 32,768 in³
---
####
5) Side length = 17 ft
$$
V = 17^3 = 17 \times 17 \times 17
$$
First: $ 17 \times 17 = 289 $
Then: $ 289 \times 17 $
Break it down:
- $ 289 \times 10 = 2,890 $
- $ 289 \times 7 = 2,023 $
- Add: $ 2,890 + 2,023 = 4,913 $
✔ Volume = 4,913 ft³
---
####
6) Side length = 25 ft
$$
V = 25^3 = 25 \times 25 \times 25
$$
First: $ 25 \times 25 = 625 $
Then: $ 625 \times 25 $
Break it down:
- $ 625 \times 20 = 12,500 $
- $ 625 \times 5 = 3,125 $
- Add: $ 12,500 + 3,125 = 15,625 $
✔ Volume = 15,625 ft³
---
####
7) Side length = 39 yd
$$
V = 39^3 = 39 \times 39 \times 39
$$
First: $ 39 \times 39 = 1,521 $
Then: $ 1,521 \times 39 $
Break it down:
- $ 1,521 \times 30 = 45,630 $
- $ 1,521 \times 9 = 13,689 $
- Add: $ 45,630 + 13,689 = 59,319 $
✔ Volume = 59,319 yd³
---
8) A cubical gift box has a side length of 20 inches. What is the volume?
$$
V = 20^3 = 20 \times 20 \times 20 = 8,000
$$
✔ Volume = 8,000 in³
---
✔ Final Answers:
####
Part A:
1)
27
2)
64 ft³
3)
125 in³
####
Part B:
4)
32,768 in³
5)
4,913 ft³
6)
15,625 ft³
7)
59,319 yd³
8)
8,000 in³

🔍 Explanation Summary:
- The
volume of a cube is always calculated as
side × side × side, or $ s^3 $.
- Units must be consistent and included in the final answer (e.g., in³, ft³, etc.).
- When multiplying large numbers, breaking them into smaller parts helps avoid errors.
