Hi Alexis, For any cube if the side length is $x$ units then the area of each face is $x^2$ square units and its volume is $x^3$ cubic units. Suppose the smaller of your two cubes has a side length of $s$ units. It has $6$ faces so the its surface area is $6 x^2$ square units. Thus each face of the larger of the two cubes has an area of $6 x^2$ square units. What is the side length of this cube? What is its volume? Write back if you need further assistance, | ||||||||||||
