Answer:

2197 cm³

Explanation:

To start with, I'd just the formulas needed

Total Surface Area of a cuboid, A =

A = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw, where,

l = length of the cuboid, 33 cm

h = bright of the cuboid, 9 cm

w = width of the cuboid, 5 cm

A = 2(33 * 5) + 2(33 *9) + 2(9 * 5)

A = 2(165) + 2(297) + 2(45)

A = 330 + 594 + 90

A = 1014 cm²

If the total surface area of the cuboid is 1014 cm², which were told is also the total surface are of the cube.

Total surface area of a cube =

A = 6a², where

a = the side of the cuve

A = 6a² = 1014 cm²

6a² = 1014

a² = 1014 / 6

a² = 169

a = √169

a = 13

The formula for volume of cube is

v = a³

V = 13³

V = 2197 cm³
