    27‬ cubic ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for volume is Base * Height * Width;

    and the formula for area is Base * Height.

    This problem mentions the structure is a cube and therefore it is assumed that every wall has the same area. Since there are 6 sides to a cube you divide the total amount of ft which make up this cube to know the area to each wall.

    54 ft / 6 walls = 9 ft per wall

    With the area of each wall you can find the base and height:

    base * height = area

    base = height ... b*h ... b*b=area ... b^2 = area ... b = sqrt (area)

    b = sqrt (9) = 3

    base = 3ft

    height = 3ft

    since: base=height=width

    width = 3ft

    volume = 3 * 3 * 3 = 3^3 = 27 ft^3
