Answer:

27 cubic inches

Explanation:

A cube by definition has all the side lengths equal to each other. Kind of like how a square has all equal sides, except with a cube, there's depth. So the volume of the cube would be the width*length*depth, but since the width=length=depth, you only need one side, and you just cube it, or raise it to the third power. So you have the equation:
A=(3\text{ inches})^3=27\text{ inches}^3 which is read as 27 cubic inches
