Concept:A cube has all edges equal. Its volume = length × breadth × height = side × side × side.Formula used:$V = s^3$, where $s$ is the length of one side.Given:$s = 5 \text{ m}$Solution:$V = 5 \times 5 \times 5$$5 \times 5 = 25$, then $25 \times 5 = 125$$V = 125 \text{ m}^3$ (volume is in cubic metres because three lengths in metres are multiplied).Key point: $25 \text{ m}^2$ is the area of one face ($s^2$), not the volume.Answer:Option D ($125 \text{ m}^3$)
