What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 6 cm?

  1. 12

  2. 36

  3. 216

  4. 324

The correct answer is: 216

A cube is a three-dimensional object with six equal faces, and a side length indicates the measure of one edge of the cube. To find the volume of a cube, we multiply the length of one side by itself twice (known as cubing the side length). Therefore, to find the volume of a cube with a side length of 6cm, we would calculate 6^3, which is equal to 216 cubic centimeters. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not take into account the cubing of the side length, and thus do not accurately represent the volume of the cube.
