Explain Volume of a Cube

Introduction on Volume of a cube:
           A cube is a region of space formed by six identical square faces joined along their edges. Three edges join at each corner to form a vertex. The cube can also be called a regular hexahedron. It is one of the five regular polyhedrons, which are also sometimes referred to as the Platonic solids. 
Surface Area:
  • Surface area is the measure of how much exposed of area a solid object has, expressed in square units
  • For polyhedra (objects with flat polygonal faces) the surface area is the sum of the areas of its faces.
Volume:
  • Volume is how much three-dimensional space a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains, often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre and the volume of a cube formula .

Surface Area of Cube:

 Formula:
      The Surface area of Cube can be calculated using the following formula:
                                           Surface area = 6a2
                                        where a---> side length
