Interpret the exponent in the formula. S to the third power means to use s as a factor 3 times.
V = S to the third power = S x S x S
Find the volume of the first cube.
Substitute 4 for s.
V = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64
Find the volume of the second cube.
Substitute 7 for s.
V = 7 x 7 x 7 = 343
Tamara's first cube has a volume of 64 cubic centimeters, and her second cube has a volume of 343 cubic centimeters
