    Answer: The volume inside is 27 cu. ft.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The surface area of a cube is the area of each face of the cube added together. There are 6 faces on a cube; 54/6 = 9 sq. ft. for each face of the cube.

    Each face of a cube is a square, whose area is given by A=s²:

    9 = s²

    Take the square root of both sides:

    √9 = √s²

    3 = s

    Each side of the square, or edge of the cube, is 3 ft.

    This makes the volume 3 (3) (3) = 27 cu. ft.
