In 1978, a Japanese designer named Tomoyuki Ono grew the first cube-shaped watermelon.

The fruit is placed in a box when it is small, and it grows into the shape of the box. Akira
bought one of these cube-shaped watermelons at the market. The watermelon's edges were
11 inches long.
What was the volume of Akira's watermelon?

Volume = length * width * height
Volume = 11*11*11
Volume = 1331 cubic inches
