Let the length of one side of the cube be x.
The surface area of the cube is given by 6x^2, so we know that:
6x^2 = 54
Simplifying, we divide both sides by 6:
x^2 = 9
Taking the square root of both sides:
x = 3
Therefore, the length of one side of the cube is 3 yards.
The volume of a cube is given by V = x^3, so:
V = 3^3 = 27
The volume of the cube is 27 cubic yards.
The surface area of this cube is 54 square yards. What is the volume?
