Answer:
The volume of the crystal is [tex]V=125 \:cm^3[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume enclosed by a cube is the number of cubic units that will exactly fill a cube.
To find the volume of a cube recall that a cube has all edges the same length. The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length of any edge by itself three times. Or as a formula
[tex]V=s^3[/tex]
where:
s is the length of any edge of the cube.
From the information given we know that the crystal has edge lengths of 5 centimeters. Therefore, the volume of the crystal is
[tex]V=5^3=125 \:cm^3[/tex].
