The area of the shaded face of the cube is
\(36 \, \text{cm}^2\).

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
\(V = s^3\).

Given that V = 216, we can solve for \(s\):


\[216 = s^3\]

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
\(A = s^2\).

Therefore, the area of the shaded face is:


\[A = 6^2 = 36 \, \text{cm}^2\]

So, the area of the shaded face of the cube is
\(36 \, \text{cm}^2\).
