How many sides does a cube have?
Cubes are 3D shapes made up of squares. To calculate the volume of cubes, you need to know the length, width, and height of the cube. You can use the formula V=lxwxh to find the volume of a cube.
Counting Cubes
Volume: The amount of space an object takes up, usually measured in cubic units. Cube: A 3-dimensional shape with 6 square faces and all angles are 90 degrees. Surface Area: The total area of all the faces of a 3-dimensional shape.
Concepts:
If you count all the cubes in a Rubik's cube, you will get a total of 43,252 cubes! In the 5x5x5 version of the Rubik's cube, there are 125,873,922,219,424 cubes! In 2013, the world record for solving a Rubik's cube was 5.25 seconds!
