Hint: Since we're dealing with a cube, this means that each face of the cube is a square. We're given that the perimeter of the face is 240 cm and remember that the perimeter of a square is P=4s (where 's' is the side length). This would then mean that 240=4s. Solve for 's' and then use this value to calculate V=s%5E3 which is the volume of a cube with side length of 's'.
