What is a cube and, how to calculate its volume?
Have you ever wondered about the fascinating world of cubes and how to unlock their secrets? Let's dive in and explore how to calculate the volume of a cube! A cube is a three-dimensional shape that has all edges of equal length. The volume of a cube is given by the product of its three dimensions. For example, if the edges of a cube measure "a" centimeters, the volume of the cube will be given by the product "a × a × a", which is equal to the 3rd power. The Rubik's cube shown has its edges equal to 3 units. So, its volume is:
a3 = a × a × a = a3 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 units or cubic centimeters (27 cm3) (if we choose our volume unit as cubic centimeters).
Did you know that a perfect number, also known as a cube number, is a number that can be written using the formula Sn = n3, where n is an integer?

Notice that:
- 0 cubed is 0 (just make n = 0 in the formula Sn = n2)
- 1 cubed is 1 (just make n = 1)
- Negative 0 cubed is 0 (just make n = 0)
- Negative 1 cubed is -1 (just make n = 1)
