Refer to the explanation below.

Explanation:

The volume of a cube is given by the equation:

#V=s^3#

where:

  • #s# is the side length of the cube

So, the volume is:

#V=(3 \ "cm")^3#

#=27 \ "cm"^3#

The surface area of a cube is given by the equation:

#A=6s^2#

where:

  • #s# is also the side length of the cube

So, we get:

#A=6*(3 \ "cm")^2#

#=6*9 \ "cm"^2#

#=54 \ "cm"^2#
