Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of a cube is found by raising one side to the third power. Therefore, the volume of this cube is (1.55 m)^3 = 3.714375 m^3. However, the answer choices are given in cm^3, so we must convert: 3.714375 m^3 = 3,714,375 cm^3. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.72 x 10^6, which is answer choice C.
