The area of the shaded face of the cube is

To determine the area of the shaded face of a cube with a volume of 216 cubic centimeters, let's first find the length of one side s of the cube.
The volume (V) of a cube is given by the formula
.
Given that V = 216, we can solve for \(s\):
![\[216 = s^3\]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/nd77x2fpk2v9fbuxgen97540du2awoya3l.png)
Taking the cube root of both sides:
s = 6
Now that we know (s), the area (A) of any face of the cube is given by

Therefore, the area of the shaded face is:
![\[A = 6^2 = 36 \, \text{cm}^2\]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/60z06vyl9ap9vy43fqho8ucjpc8msb1lk4.png)
So, the area of the shaded face of the cube is
