Since the die is a cube, a regularly shaped geometric object, its volume can easily be determined by performing a direct, physical measurement of its length using a metric ruler.  You find the length of one side of the die to be approximately 1.27cm long.  Since the die is a cube, its volume can be estimated as being equal to the length of one of its sides cubed (volume = length of a side3).  What is the volume of the cube in cm3using this method? Show your work.
