Step 1
The picture below shows the cube with the sides (edges) with the length of 3cm.
Cube with the sides of length 3cm

Step 2
To find the volume, we can just use the formula for the volume of the cube as shown:
V = L3
   = 33
         = 3×3×3
   = 27

Step 3
Now, the calculated number 27, carries no meaning unless the unit for it is included. Since the sides of the cube are in unit cm, the unit for volume will be cm3. Hence:
V = 27cm3
