Calculate the volume of a cube with an edge of 11 cm. Compare it with 1 dm3.

We will immediately convert centimeters to decimeters, based on the fact that 1 dm = 10 cm.
11 cm = 1.1 in.
As you know, the volume of a cube is calculated by the formula: V = a³, where a is the length of the edge of the cube.
Substitute the known values into the formula and calculate the volume of the cube: V = 1.1³ = 1.331 dm³.
Let us compare the obtained result with 1 dm³: 1.331 – 1 = 0.331.
Answer: the volume of the cube is 1.331 dm³, which is 0.331 more than 1 dm³.
