suparfly, the question to ask your self, is, x * x * x = 27... what is x?

It is 3.. 
$$\sqrt[3]{27} = 3$$... So the length of each side of the cube is 3 inches

anonymous · Answer

so is it 3 inches or cubic inches

anonymous · Answer

3 inches, because the measurement of the edge is linear, for example you could measure it with a ruler. cubic is when you are talking about the actual volume of the object.
