Calculate the volume and surface area of a 3cm cube.

According to the condition of this problem, it is required to calculate the volume and surface area of a cube if the length of the cube edge is 3 centimeters. Let’s start by calculating the volume of the cube, it is equal to the product of the lengths of the three edges of the cube or the length of the edge in the third power (in the cube):

3 * 3 * 3 = 33 = 27 (cm3);

To calculate the surface area of a cube, recall that a cube has six faces, while the area of one face is equal to the product of the lengths of two edges or the length of an edge in the second power (squared):

3 * 3 * 6 = 32 * 6 = 9 * 6 = 54 (cm2);

Answer: The volume of a given cube is 27 cm3, and the surface area is 54 cm2.
