Exercise 115 Page 714

To calculate the volume of a cube we have to cube its side.

Volume: 4096units^3
Surface Area: 1536 units^2

Practice makes perfect

Let's first draw the diagram of the described cube.

The volume of this solid is its side cubed. 16^3=4096units^3 The surface area of a cube is the combined area of its 6 surfaces, which are all squares with the same side. Therefore, we can calculate the surface area of the cube by determining the area of one square and multiplying by 6. 6(16)^2=1536 units^2
