Volume of a Cube using formula

In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex. The cube can also be called a regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids. It is a special kind of square prism, of rectangular parallelepiped and of trigonal trapezohedron. The cube is dual to the octahedron. It has cubical symmetry (also called octahedral symmetry). A cube is the three-dimensional case of the more general concept of a hypercube.The volume of any solid, liquid, plasma, vacuum or theoretical object is how much three-dimensional space it occupies, often quantified numerically. One-dimensional figures (such as lines) and two-dimensional shapes such as square (geometry help) squares are assigned zero volume in the three-dimensional space. Volume is commonly presented in units such as cubic meters, cubic centimeters, litres, or millilitres.Let's see how to find the volume of a cube by using formula for volume
Question:-

If the edge of the cube is 10 m ,then what is the volume of the cube?

Answer:-

Given the edge as 10m

in a cube all the edges are same

so the length of the cube=10m

Width of the cube= 10m

height of the cube = 10m

Volume formula is

length x width x height

so the volume of the given cube is

10 x 10 x 10 = 30 m3
