Why does a cube with a side length 1 cm fit into a cube with a side length of 3 cm 9 times?

In your mind's eye, picture an opened but empty cardboard box which is 3x3 whatevers. We'll call them 'centimeters' (cm) so as not to confuse you. You will find that NINE 1x1cm boxes will fit inside, forming a 'bottom layer'. Two more layers on top of that and you will have ONE CUBIC (whatever) CENTIMETER. If you had started with one-foot square boxes, the total of twenty-seven 'units' would equal ONE SQUARE YARD. ( AKA: 3x3X3 or 3, cubed 'whatevers')

In a unit cube what is the largest square you can have inside?
The largest square that you can fit in any cube will have each corner 1/4 of the way away from a corner of the cube and will have a side length of s*3√2/4 where s is the length of the sides of the cube. For a unit cube, the side length is 1 by definition, meaning that this largest square will have a side length of 3√2/4 and that its area will be 9/8 units squared.

first take one side of the cube...on one single side of the cube you can fit 4 squares along each edge, for a total of 16 on one cube side. Then multiply this by 6 sides. 16 x 6 = 96 tiles

What is a shape having the same dimensions of length height and width?
I suspect that "cube" is the answer you are looking for. A regular tetrahedron could also fit the measurements, as could a sphere. In fact, if you were to start with a perfect cube of material and ensure that some part of each face was retained, one could argue that anything carved out from that original cube had equal length, height, and width.
