let side of cube is L and side of square is S. L^3=S^2(as per ques.) so S=L^(3/2)
now new cube is formed using the given square as its faces , so side of this new cube= S. vol. of the new cube(V)= S^3=L^(9/2). SO L=V^2/9. And its given that L is an integer . so V=19683 or 512 as 19683=3^9 and 512=2^9.
