Volume of a cube = side × side × side. So volume = 55 × 55 × 55 = 166375 cubic m. Cubic units are used for space inside a solid. Volume measures the space inside the cube, so we multiply length, breadth, and height; in a cube all three are the same side. That is why the shortcut is side³. The answer is in cubic units, so the correct choice is 166375 m³.
