Question 391467
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


No.  What they want is the sum of the lengths of all of the edges of the cube.  If you count them, there are 4 edges on top, 4 edges on the bottom, and 4 vertical edges, for a total of 12 edges.  If the volume of the cube is 27 cubic feet, then one edge of the cube must measure the cube root of 27, namely 3 feet.  If there are 3 feet in each of 12 edges, that gets you to your answer of 36 feet.
