A box with a square base measuring 8 cm by 8 cm has a base with a surface area of 64 square centimeters.
If there was a grid drawn on it with lines marked 1 cm apart, the bottom would look like this:
drawing%28300%2C300%2C0.9%2C9.8%2C0.9%2C9.8%2C%0D%0Agrid%281%29%0D%0A%29 with 64 (8 rows of 8) little squares of side 1 cm, 64 square centimeters.
If you filled that box with little cubes measuring 1 cm on each side, you would be able to fit 3 layers of them up to the 3-cm height of the box. You would have 3 times 64 (192) little cubes. each cube is 1 cubic centimeter, so the volume is 192 cubic centimeters.
To find the volume of a cuboid (a box with six rectangular sides), you multiply all the dimensions together. In this case:
%286cm%29%2A%286cm%29%283cm%29=192cm%5E3 or (6 cm)X(6 cm)X(3 cm)= 192 cubic cm
Cubic centimeter is abbreviated cm%5E3 for math and engineering. In nursing, and medicine they use cc (as in measuring volumes for injections). In science, we usually called them milliliters, and abbreviate it mL, with a capital L.
