Question

Find the volume of a cubical pit with side 8 yards.

• A. $512\text{cubic yards}$
• B. $625\text{cubic yards}$
• C. $525\text{cubic yards}$
• D. $428\text{cubic yards}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $512\text{cubic yards}$

$\text{Volume of a cube}={\text{Side}}^3$

Given: A cube of side 8 yards

$\Rightarrow \text{Volume of the cubical pit}=8^3$
$=8\times 8\times 8=512{\text{yards}}^3$

Thus, the volume of the cubical pit is 512 cubic yards.
