What is the volume of a cube (in cubic cm) whose diagonal measures 4√3 cm ?
Correct answer: D. 64
- A. 8
- B. 16
- C. 27
- D. 64
Explanation
A cube's space diagonal is a√3, where a is its edge. Thus a√3 cm = 4√3 cm gives a = 4 cm, and its volume is a3 = 4 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm = 64 cm3. The likely mistake is option b, 16 cm3, from treating the diagonal as the edge length.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
