Use the density of sodium. This must be given with the question or you need to look in a reference source. What is, also, the identity, if known, of this "nonreactive liquid"?

If you know the density, d, of sodium and unit is grams per cubic centimeter, then , the volume of this sodium.

This volume must conform to:
Let h = height change in the cubical container corresponding to the sodium
and solve this for h.
cm.
