[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism (which can be used to represent a piece of cake) is V = Base Area x Height.

In this case, the base area of the cake is 40cm2 and the height is 7cm.

Therefore, the volume V = 40cm2 x 7cm = 280cm3.

So, the volume of the piece of cake is 280cm3.

Therefore, the correct response is:
A 280cm3
