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
