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
