lgbasallote · Answer

hint: volume of a cube = area of base x height

since your base of a cube is square..the area of that base is side x side

so volume of cube = s x s x h

I don't understand very well at all. (Math is my weak subject :/)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

what lgbasallote is saying is that you multiply the side length by itself 3 times to get your answer.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

So you compute 5*5*5 to get the volume

anonymous · Answer

125 m(to the 3rd power)?

lgbasallote · Answer

ha lol yeah =)) i just wanted to state the general formula :D the formula area of base x height is applicable to prisms like boxes, cylinders, etc.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes, the answer is 125 cubic meters
