Write the algebraic expression for the volume of a cube, if its side (a) is reduced by 5.
(a-5)3
Volume is measured in cubic units. The volume of the given figure is the number of cubes required to fill it completely, like blocks in a box.
Volume of a cube = side × side × side = (side)3
Volume of a cube = (a)3
If the side (a) of a cube is reduced by 5, then the volume of a cube will be (a-5)3.
