Calculate the volume of a cube with a side length of 4 cm.

To find the volume of a cube, you use the formula:

[

\text{Volume} = \text{side length}^3

]

In this case, the side length of the cube is 4 cm. To calculate the volume, you will raise the side length to the power of 3:

[

\text{Volume} = 4^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4

]

Calculating it step-by-step:

1. First, calculate (4 \times 4 = 16).

2. Then, take that result and multiply it by 4 again: (16 \times 4 = 64).

So, the volume of the cube is (64 \text{ cm}^3). This is why the correct answer is selected, as it accurately reflects the application of the volume formula for a cube given the specified side length.
