To measure the volume of an ice cube a student first melts the ice then measures the volume of the liquid with a graduated cylinder is this procedure accurate?

No. When water freezes and becomes ice, it expands. This causes it to have greater volume. If you were to melt down ice, the volume you would measure afterwards (in liquid form) would be lass than the volume of the actual solid ice.

What is measuring cylinder used to measure?
A graduated cylinder measures liquid volume. The word "graduated" means it's marked off in units, usually milliliters (mL). Because the cylinder is graduated more finely than most beakers or flasks, the graduated cylinder is the best way to accurately measure liquid volume in science. Beakers and flasks can give you a rough measurement, but graduated cylinders are the way to go if you really want to be accurate.
What is the smallest amount a graduated cylinder measures?
It depends on the size of the cylinder - I've got one that measures down to 0.2 milliliters.
