Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Statement (1) tells us that the length of a side of the cube is 3, since the volume is just the
length of one side cubed. So we can cross off B, C, and E.
Statement (2) is a little trickier, since surface area is generally a less familiar concept. If the
surface area of the whole cube is 54, then the area of each one of the 6 faces is 9. That means each
side is 3, so statement (2) is also sufficient, and our answer is D.
