In mathematics, raising a number to the power of 3 is called cubing. When we say 3 to the third power, it means multiplying 3 by itself three times: 3 x 3 x 3. The result of this operation is 27. The term "cube" comes from the shape of the result, which has three dimensions, just like a cube.

Imagine a line 3 inches long. It has one dimension. Adding another dimension creates a square, 3 x 3. Adding a third dimension creates a cube, 3 x 3 x 3
