What is the volume of a cube with surface area \(54x^2\)?

(A) \(9x^2\)
(B) \(27x^3\)
(C) \(81x^2\)
(D) \(81x^3\)
(E) \(729x^3\)

Surface of area of a cube = \(6a^2\); where a is a side length of a cube

Surface of area of a cube = \(6a^2 = 54x^2 = 6* (3x)^2\)

a = 3x

Volume of the cube = \(a^3 = (3x)^3 = 27x^3\)

IMO B

(A) \(9x^2\)
(B) \(27x^3\)
(C) \(81x^2\)
(D) \(81x^3\)
(E) \(729x^3\)

Surface area of a cube = \(6s^2\)

Given surface area = \(54x^2\)

We need to find the side of the cube from this, therefore:

\(6s^2\) = \(54x^2\)

\(s^2\) = \(\frac{54x^2}{6}\)

\(s^2\) = \(9x^2\)

\(s\) = \(3x\)

Hence, Volume of cube = \((3x)^3\)

\(27x^3\)
