10. A cube has a side length of 8 cm. How much more volume does it have than a cube with a side length of 4 cm?

Answer: The volume of the 8 cm cube is 8 x 8 x 8 = 512 cm³. The volume of the 4 cm cube is 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 cm³. To find how much more volume the 8 cm cube has, we subtract the volume of the 4 cm cube from the volume of the 8 cm cube: 512 - 64 = 448 cm³. So the 8 cm cube has 448 cm³ more volume than the 4 cm cube.
