Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Calculate the cube's volume
00:03 We'll use the formula for calculating cube volume (edge to the third power)
00:07 Edge length according to the given data
00:11 We'll substitute the edge length and solve for the volume
00:22 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

The volume of a cube is determined by the formula V=s3 V = s^3 , where s s is the length of each edge of the cube.

Given that each edge of the cube measures 4 4 cm, we proceed as follows:

  • Step 1: Identify the edge length as s=4 s = 4 cm.
  • Step 2: Apply the formula V=s3 V = s^3 .
  • Step 3: Calculate V=43=4×4×4 V = 4^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 .

Continuing with the calculation:

  • 4×4=16 4 \times 4 = 16
  • 16×4=64 16 \times 4 = 64

The volume of the cube is therefore 64 64 cubic centimeters.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is  64\ 64 cm³.

Answer

64 64 cm³
