Answer: there would be 9 cubes on each side.
Explanation:
when trying to find the area of a cube, you have to use the formula:
a(area) = l(length) x W(Width) X H(Height)
we already know the area(27)
{A = 27}
that means you would have to divide 27 into 3 parts to find the number of cubes on each side.
27/3 = 9
Area = l x w x h
the l x w x h = 9 x 9 x 9 = 27
1 side = 9 cubes
