Since a cube is essentially 6 squares, and the base, length, and height is ∛(volume)=∛(27)=3 due to that a cube is base*width*height, with each being the same. Each square is 3*3=9 square centimeters. 6 equal squares are 9*6=54 square centimeters. which is 1 cube. 54*2=108, 54*3=162, and we have 6*27=162 square inches, meaning that we have 3 cubes!
