This lesson covers the concept of volume, focusing on cubes and fractional edge lengths. It explains how to calculate the volume of a cube using the formula V = l^3 and explores the idea of smaller cubes within a larger cube. The lesson also discusses the importance of using parentheses when dealing with fractional exponents to ensure accurate calculations. The session concludes with a summary and a transition to the next part of the lesson.

What is the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism?

• V = lwh

• V = lw + h

• V = l^3

• V = l + w + h

How do you calculate the volume of a cube?

• V = l + w + h

• V = l^3

• V = l^2

• V = lw

Why is it important to use parentheses when raising fractions to a power?

• To ensure the entire fraction is raised to the power

• To affect only the numerator

• To affect only the denominator

• To simplify the fraction
