Understanding Cube Volume and Subtraction

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a cube by multiplying its length, width, and height. It uses a real-world example of a butter cube with a side length of 5 centimeters. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the remaining volume after a smaller cube with a side length of 2 centimeters is removed from the larger cube. The final expression for the remaining volume is 5 to the third power minus 2 to the third power.

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cube?

• Length + Width + Height

• Length x Width x Height

• Length x Width

• Width x Height
