To find the volume of a cube, you can use the formula:
[tex]\[ V = a^3 \][/tex]
where [tex]\( V \)[/tex] is the volume, and [tex]\( a \)[/tex] is the length of one side of the cube.
Given that the side length of the cube is 4 cm, we substitute [tex]\( a \)[/tex] with 4 cm in the formula:
[tex]\[ V = 4^3 \][/tex]
Now, calculate [tex]\( 4^3 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 4^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 16 \times 4 = 64 \][/tex]
So, the volume of the cube is:
[tex]\[ 64 \, \text{cm}^3 \][/tex]
Therefore, the volume of a cube with sides of 4 cm is [tex]\( 64 \, \text{cm}^3 \)[/tex].
