Answer 1

D. Cubic centimeters

Explanation:

The volume of any shape is measured in terms of cubic units because the volume is measured only if three dimensions of the figure is known.

For the given cube length of side is 5 cm

A cube have all its sides equal.

Volume of cube= Length*Breadth*Height

So. the volume of the given cube is :

Volume =
`5cm*5cm*5cm\\125*cm*cm*cm\\12cm^3`

So, the volume of a cube is measured in Cubic centimeters.

This representation for the volume of the cube is for understanding the system of measurement unit and how they are used.
