The easiest way to find the volume of a cube is to find the length of its edge
and then cube that number.

Here's how to find the length of the edge from the total surface area:

-- A cube has 6 faces. If its total surface area is 96 square units, then
the area of each face is 16 square units.

-- Each face is a square. If the area of the square is 16 square units, then
the side of the square is 4 units.

But the side of the square face is the same as the edge of the cube !

-- The volume of the cube is (4 x 4 x 4) = 64 cubic units.
