Volume: 

V = x^3

solve for x to get 

x = ??

$\large \begin{array}{llll}
&1ft & = & 12in\
&1ft^2 & = & 12^2in^2\
&1ft^3 & = & 12^3in^3\
\textit{thus we can say}\
&area & = & x\cdot x\
&volume& = & x\cdot x \cdot x\
\hline\
S(v) = \cfrac{\sqrt{6}\cdot \sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{6}x^3}{\sqrt{6}  x} \implies 6x^2


\end{array}$

what did you type in exactly?

6x^2

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

that's the surface area, but it's in terms of the side length and NOT the volume
