Question 1 Report
At the school sports day, the winning relay team is presented with a small wooden trophy in the shape of a cube. Each edge of the trophy measures 5 cm, as shown in the diagram.
Work out the volume of the trophy. (2)
Answer Details
A cube has all three dimensions equal, so its volume is simply the edge length multiplied by itself three times.
With edge length 5 cm:
\[5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125 \text{ cm}^3 \quad \textbf{[2 marks]}\]
Exam tip: a cube's volume formula, \(a^3\), is a special case of the cuboid formula \(l \times w \times h\) where all three lengths happen to be equal.
