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
