Given a cube ABCDA1B1C1D1. The side of this cube is 8 cm. Find its volume and surface area.

To find the volume of a cube, you must use the formula:
V = a ^ 3.
By the condition of the problem, the edge of the cube is a = 8 cm.
We have: V = a ^ 3 = 8 ^ 3 = 512 (see cubic);
To calculate the surface area, you must use the formula:
Full = 6Sface; The faces of the cube are the square Sfaces = Ssquare = a ^ 2 = 8 ^ 2 = 64 (see square).
From here we have: Full = 6 * 64 = 384 (see square).
