The surface area S and volume V of a cube with side length L are given by the expressions:


\begin{gathered} S=6L^2 \\ V=L^3 \end{gathered}

Replace L=2.5 to find the surface area in square centimeters and the volume in cubic centimeters:


\begin{gathered} S=6(2.5)^2=37.5 \\ V=(2.5)^3=15.625 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 37.5 square centimeters, and its volume is 15.625 cubic centimeters.
