Side = 3 units, volume = 27 cu units, side = 6 units, volume = 216 cu units.
The side is increased by a factor of 2 and the volume is increased by a factor of 8, ie 23
If the side were increased by a factor of 3, we would thus expect the volume to increase by a factor of 33 ie 27, so: side 9 units, volume 729 cu units which is indeed 27 x 27.
To summarise: the volume increases by the cube of the factor by which the side increases.

Why is the unit for volume cm?
It isn't. A cm is a centimetre, a unit of length. Imagine, however, a cube exactly one cm long on each edge. This cube measures one cubic centimeter, or cm3 The unit of small volumes, therefore is the cm3 (If you were curious, larger volumes are measured in litres, and very large volumes, hectolitres)
