A square cake measures 6units by 6 units by 4 units.

Do you want to know the volume? That would be 6x6x4 cubic "units"

You seem to have omitted part of the question.

Perhaps you were asked for the surface area that requires frosting

To find the volume of the square cake, you need to multiply its length, width, and height. In this case, the length, width, and height of the cake are all given as 6 units.

So, to calculate the volume, you multiply 6 by 6 by 4:

Volume = 6 units * 6 units * 4 units
= 36 units * 4 units
= 144 cubic units

Therefore, the volume of the square cake is 144 cubic units.
