Answer:

27 cm³

Explanation:

The surface area of a cube is ...

SA = 6s²

Then the edge length is ...

54 cm² = 6s² . . . . . please note that cm³ is not the appropriate unit for area

9 cm² = s² . . . . . .divide by 6

3 cm = s . . . . . . . take the square root

The volume of a cube is ...

V = s³

V = (3 cm)³ = 27 cm³

The volume of the cube is 27 cm³.
