Question : 26

Total: 40

Solution:

Concept:

The volume of a cube is found by multiplying its length, breadth, and height, which are all equal.

Explanation:

For a cube, every side has the same length.

Here, the side of the cube is given as

5\,\mathrm{cm}

Use the formula:

\text{Volume} = \text{side} \times \text{side} \times \text{side}

Substitute the side length:

\text{Volume} = 5\,\mathrm{cm} \times 5\,\mathrm{cm} \times 5\,\mathrm{cm}

\text{Volume} = 125\,\mathrm{cm}^3

Therefore, the cube occupies

125

cubic centimetres of space.

Answer:

125\,\mathrm{cm}^3
