Volume \(V= a^3\) while a= one side of a cube.
If the volume is 125 it means the length of one side of the cube is 5 as \(5^3=125\)
If the length of a side of a cube is 5, then the area of one side will be equal to \(5^2=25\) and two sides will be equal to 25*2=50
Answer: D

The volume formula for a cube is V = s^3, so a volume of 125 yields a side of 5. One face therefore has an area of 25, and the total area of 2 faces is 50. If you selected choice (C), you may have found the perimeter rather than the area. If you selected choice (B), you may have forgotten to find the total for 2 faces, and if you selected choice (A), you may have done both.
