Let's start by finding the length of one side of the cube, which we can do by finding the cube root of the volume:
∛27 = 3
So one side of the cube is 3 meters long. The surface area of a cube is the sum of the areas of all six faces. Each face is a square with an area of (side length)^2.
Area of one face = (3 m)^2 = 9 m^2
Total surface area = 6 * 9 m^2 = 54 m^2
Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 54 square meters.
The volume of this cube is 27 cubic meters. What is the surface area of this cube?
