Cube Volume Formula

The formula for volume of a cube is given as:

V = a³

Where V is the volume and a is the edge length.

Volume of a Cube Example Problems

Let's go through a couple of example problems together to practice finding the volume of a cube.

Example Problem 1

Find the volume of a cube with an edge length of 5.

Solution:

1. We can simply plug the edge length into the formula. This gives us:
2. V = a³
3. V = (5)³ = 125
4. The volume of the cube is 125.

Example Problem 2

The volume of a cube is 343. What is the edge length?

Solution:

1. Let's plug the volume into the formula and then solve for the edge length a.
2. V = a³
3. 343 = a³
4. ³√343 = a
5. a = 7
6. The edge length is 7.
