That question doesn't make sense. But if you meant that the area of the SIDES is 8.64m2 then just do 8.64*sqrt(8.64) If you mean that the total SURFACE area is 8.64m2 then do sqrt(8.64/6)^3
If the volume of the cube is 8 then each side must be 2 since the formula for volume is s^3. The formula for surface area of a cube is 6s^2 so...its 6*4= 24.
