I am unable to solve it. I tried very but cannot get the steps for it. However i know the answer. Answer is (9π)^1/3

Since ice is in gravity free space, thus after melting it forms a sphere. Area of ice cube= area of sphere1 cm3 =4/3πr^3=> r=(3/4π)^1/3Now, surfacr area is given byS.A.= 4πr^2 =4π(3/4π)^2/3 =(9π)^1/3
