Without losing a dimension you can't.
Cubic centimetres are a measure of volume and have length x width x height
Square inches are a measure of area and have length x width.
To convert between inches and centimetres, remember:
1in = 2.54cm
Then
1 sq in = 1in x 1in = 2.54cm x 2.54cm = 6.5416 sq cm
1 cu in = 1 sq in x 1in = 6.5416 sq cm x 2.54cm ~= 16.387 cu cm.
To convert cubic centimetres to cubic inches divide by 2.543 ~= 16.387.
To convert square centimetres to square inches divide by 2.542 = 6.5416
To convert centimetres to inches divide by 2.54.
To convert the other way (inches to centimetres, square inches to square centimetres, cubic inches to cubic centimetres) multiply by the relevant factor.
