In order to find the volume, you need to find the sides first. So in order to do that, you need to find the sides through the area formula. Since you know that the area of a square = side ^ 2 or A = s^2 and u kno that the area is 25, so u simply plug 25 in into the area equation and write it as:

=> A = s^2

=> 25 = s^2

=> 5 = s or s = 5

Since you wanted one side, so u square rooted both sides and got s = 5, which is the length of one side of the square.

So you’re done with 1/3 of the question. Now u gotta figure out the volume. Also Note that each side of a cube is of same length, which in this case is 5. And the volume formula is length x width x height. When we put it as a formula, we write it as:

V = L (length) x W (width) x H (height)

V = 5 x 5 x 5

V = 125 unit^3 (since u didnt provide the unit e.g cm, m, in etc)

You’re done with 2/3rd of the question now!

Last but not least, you figure out the mass. And in order to find the mass, you need to have the density formula, which is:

Density = Mass x Volume

You know the density (19.3) and the volume (125). Now you have only one unknown. You plug these numbers into the density equation as:

=> D = M x V

=> 19.3 = Mass x 125

=> 19.3/125 = Mass

=> Mass = 0.154 (whatever the unit is)

So, DONE!

Tip: Just work slowly through the problem and think what should come up first in order to find the missing numbers.

Cheers!
