Answer 1

Hi, and welcome to QuestionCove!
We can start by finding the volume of each single cube. Since we know that the edge length of the cubes is 13 cm, the volume of each cube would be 13 times 13 times 13 cubic centimeters.
13 * 13 * 13 = 2197
So, one cube is 2197 cubic centimeters, and the prism can hold exactly 540 cubes. So, the entire prism has a volume of 2197 times 540 cubic centimeters.
2197 * 540 = 1,186,380
And that's how you could find the volume of this cube in cubic centimeters
