Apparently, there is a typing mistake in the statement of the question:

The length of each edge of a cube is x centimeters. If xis an integer, why is the volume of the cube not equal to 15 cm squared? show work please i want to understand:)​

The answer is:

Because the units of volume are cm^3, or m^3, not cm^2 nor m^2.

The measure of the volume is cm * cm * cm, meanwhile the area is cm * cm.

Student became unresponsive.
