the lenght of the side of a cube is 5 to the power of 3. express its surface area and volume using powers and simplify each expression

Question

I just need to know the surface area and volume in steps so i understand it better

Answer 1

Hello Emily

 

Remember a cube has the same measure on all sides.

 

So, the volume of a cube is the length of a side, cubed

V = s³

 

And surface area is 6, times the length of a side, squared

SA = 6s²

 

In this case, the length of the side is 5³ = 125

 

V = (5³)³ = 125³ = 1,953,125

 

SA = 6(5³)² = 6(125²) = 93,750
