Multiplication of length means expanding in dimension (whatever that means)

that is 1 cm x 1 cm = 1 cm^2 it's 2 dimention, so it's area of a 1 by one rectangle.

1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm = 1 cm ^3 which is a cube, it's 3D

DO NOT try to visualize the following

1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm = 1 cm^4, it's a 4D model (no one knows what it looks like)

so in your case, 2 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm= (2 x 3 x 2) cm ^3 = 12 cm ^3 (paper form is cm to the power of 3)

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
