Volume of cube

Before you study how to calculate volume of cube, you are advised to read: What is Square ? How to find area of square ? First let's understand What does volume means The measure of the amount of space occupied by an object is known as "Volume of the Solid" Volume of Cube = side X side X side = (side)3 How formula for volume of cube is obtained Let's understand how formula for volume of cube is obtained: Observe the following diagram of cube: Volume of cube is equals to Area of base multiplied by height (as shown below): Volume of cube = Area of base X Height ..... (Statement 1) Now you can see that base is in square shape, so apply formula for area of square and we get: Area of Base = side X side ..... (Statement 2) As mentioned above in statement 1: Volume of cube = Area of base X Height Put values from statement 2 and we get: = side X side X Height Also, as we know that in cubes all sides are equal, so height = side and we get: = side X side X side = (side)3 Therefore, Volume of cube = (side)3 (Note: Volume of cube is always in cubic units i.e. mm3, cm3, m3 etc ... ) Let try some following example to find the volume of given cubes: Example 1 : The sides of the below cube shaped box is 3cm. Find the volume of the cube shaped box ? Sides of cube = 3cm (given) Volume of cube = (side)3 = (3)3 = 27 cm3 Example 2 : The sides of the below cube shaped box is 10cm. Find the volume of the cube shaped box ? Sides of cube = 10 cm (given) Volume of cube = (side)3 = (10)3= 100 cm3 Example 3 : The sides of the below cube shaped box is 5cm. Find the volume of the cube shaped box ? Sides of cube = 5 cm (given) Volume of cube = (side)3 = (5)3 = 125 cm3 Study More Solved Questions / Examples Find the volume of a cube which has a the following sides A) Side of 9 cm B) Side of 14 cm C) Side of 24 cm D) Side of 27 cm E) Side of 7 cm
