Cube Measurement Worksheet

A community makerspace is packing, painting, and building with cube-shaped boxes. Use your calculations to help the team. Remember: volume is measured in cubic units; surface area is measured in square units.

Build and describe a cube

A cube has six congruent square faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. Its edge length is the same in all directions.

1.The makerspace is assembling a cube frame. How many faces, edges, and vertices does the finished cube have?
2.A small cube-shaped gift box has edges 4 inches long. Which calculation gives its volume, and what is the volume?
  • 4 × 4 = 16 cubic inches
  • 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 cubic inches
  • 6 × 4 × 4 = 96 cubic inches
  • 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 cubic inches
3.A cube-shaped storage bin holds 216 cubic feet. What is the length of one edge? Show how you know.

Cover and paint cube surfaces

To find the surface area of a cube, find the area of one square face and multiply by 6: SA = 6s².

4.A wooden cube has edges 3 inches long. How much paint is needed to cover all six outside faces? Give your answer in square inches.
5.A display cube has edges 5 feet long. What is its surface area? Include the calculation and square units.
6.A cube-shaped planter has an edge length of 2 feet. How much soil can it hold when filled completely?
7.Mateo is painting a cube-shaped sign with 6-inch edges. One can covers 200 square inches. How many cans are needed to paint every outside face? Explain why you must round your result the way you do.
8.True or false? If a cube’s edge length doubles, its volume doubles too. Use an example with an edge changing from 2 units to 4 units to support your answer.
TrueFalse
9.The makerspace has 96 square inches of wrapping paper. Can it cover every face of a cube-shaped package with 4-inch edges? Calculate and explain.
10.Design a cube-shaped container for a makerspace object. Choose an edge length from 2 to 10 inches, then find both its volume and surface area. State the units and show your calculations.
