Answer:

$27\ liters$

Explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the cube

The volume of a cube is

V=b^(3)

where

b is the length side of the cube

we have

$b=30\ cm$

substitute

V=(30)^(3)

$V=27,000\ cm^(3)$

step 2

Convert cm^3 to liters

Remember that

$1\ liter=1,000\ cm^3$

$27,000\ cm^(3)=27,000/1,000=27\ liters$
