Boys and girls ,
Ladies and gentlemen.
Today we will be finding
the volume of a cube.
First we should probably
talk about what a cube is .
A cube is basically a box
that has six congruent or equal squares.
So all of the squares
that form the cube are exactly the same.
So what do we mean by
volume .
So here we have a three-dimensional
object and this is really the first three dimensional object .
We 've been dealing with when we talk about volume it's .
How much would fill up
the entire cube like if we wanted to pour water into this cube.
How much water would fill up the cube.
So volume is all of the space that's taken up by the inside of the
cube.
We're going to use volume when we're talking about any three dimensional
object.
So we want to find the volume of this cube .
Now you have to know one of your side lights so.
Here this is six inches.
Now remember because this is a cube this is a three-dimensional
object.
That 's created by six identical squares nino and a square.
You are.
Face in the height of the
square exactly the same .
So if that's six inches , this is also six inches .
This 6 inches.
This is six inches really all of the lines you see or six inches.
So when we're finding volume and we first want to find the area
of our base which is the square that on the very bottom here.
The first thing we want to do is find the area of the square
that is the base of the square.
Remember the space of the square is the square that's on the bottom.
But Now we know that one side length of the square is fixed .
So the other side length
of the square also has to be 6.
And therefore the area of
this square will be 6 times 6 or 36 square inches.
To find the volume we're going to multiply the
area that is the area of the base.
Times our height which again
in this case is going to be another six inches.
So the volume here of our cube is going to be 216 cubic inches or
inches cubed.
Whenever we're finding the
volume of a rectangular prism which
is basically anytime, you
have a three-dimensional figure that's contained by rectangles.
You're going to find the volume by length times width times
height now.
Because this is a cube, our
length or width and our height all have the same length.
And therefore we can say
that it is our side length cubed or the side length to the third power.
And now remember ,because
we're talking about volume ,our answer always has to be in our units cubed or
to the third power.
