Answer :

To determine the volume of a cube, we use the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Volume} = \text{side length}^3 \][/tex]

Given that the side length of the cube is 9 inches, we can find the volume by raising 9 to the power of 3.

[tex]\[ 9^3 = 9 \times 9 \times 9 \][/tex]

Calculating this step-by-step:

[tex]\[ 9 \times 9 = 81 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 81 \times 9 = 729 \][/tex]

Thus, the volume of the cube is 729 cubic inches.

From the provided options, the correct answer is:
