A cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets, or sides, with three meeting at each vertex.
The cube formula:
Volume of Cube = a³
Surface Area of Cube = 6a²
Diagonal of Cube = Sqrt(3)*a
(a = represents a side)
Lets say that the number for the given side is 3, this is how the calculation would look:
Volume = a³ = 3³ = 27
Surface Area = 6 * 4² = 6 * 9 = 54
And the Diagonal = Sqrt(3)*a = Sqrt(3) * 3 = 1.73 * 3 = 5.19

The volume of a cube = a3
The surface area = 6a2
(a=one side of the square in a cube)
Take the cube root of the volume to get the length of an edge. Square this number to get the area of a side, Multiply this by 6 to get the total surface area of the cube.
From the surface area, calculate the length of each side: area = 6 x side2.Once you know this side, you can get the cube of it, to obtain the volume.
Cube root the volume and square it multiplying it by 6 As for example if its volume was 27 then its cube root is 3 and 32*6 = 54 which is the cube's total surface area
If a is the side,lateral surface area of cube=4a2
The answer to your question is below along with a general formula so you can see where the answer comes from.The formula for the volume of a cube with side length L is L3The formula for the surface area comes from finding the area of one side of the cube and multiplying that by 6 since there are 6 sides. The area of one side is L2 sothe surface area is 6L2 .Now if we want ratio of surface area to volume for any cube, it would be 6L2 /L3This simplifies to 6/LSo in the case of a cube with side length 3 mm it is 6/3 or 2.Method 2 would be to find the surface area and volume for your cube only and then divide.The volume is 33 and the surface area is 6(32 ) so the ratio of surface area to volume is6(32 )/33 =2
