Volume is found by multiplying l*w*h. The lengths of a cube are all the same. So to V = (5a+4b)^3 or V = (5a+4b)(5a+4b)(5a+4b)

how did you get that

OpenStudy (kamibug):

The length, height, and width are all (5a+4b) since all the side lengths of a cube are the same. And you are asked to find volume, which is length times width times height. So you're just multiplying (5a+4b) by itself 3 times. :)
