Answer:
5 (g)/(cm^(3))

Step-by-step explanation:

The density
\rho of a material is given by:


\rho=(m)/(V) (1)

Where:


m=3645 g is the mass of the cube


V is the volume of the cube

Now, the volume of a cube is equal to the length
L of its edge to the power of 3:


V=L^(3) (2)

If we know
L=9 cm, the volume of this cube is:


V=(9 cm)^(3)=729 cm^(3) (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):


\rho=(3645 g)/(729 cm^(3)) (4)


\rho=5 (g)/(cm^(3)) This is the density of the cube
