What is the volume of a cube with edge length 5 cm?

50 cm^3
100 cm^3
125 cm^3
250 cm^3

The correct answer is: 125 cm^3

A cube is a three-dimensional shape with equal sides, so in order to calculate its volume, we can simply take one edge length and cube it (raise it to the third power). In this case, we have an edge length of 5 cm, so the volume would be 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 cm^3. Option A and B are incorrect because they do not take into account the third dimension of the cube. Option A is simply multiplying 5 x 5, which would give us the area of one side, not the volume. Option B is simply multiplying 5 x 5 x 5, which would give us the volume of a cube with an edge length of 5 cm, not the volume of a cube with edge length of 5 cm. Option D is incorrect because it is twice the correct answer. This may have been
