To find the value of 3 cubed (3^3), you calculate 3 multiplied by itself twice. Specifically, this means:

3^3 = 3 × 3 × 3

First, you multiply the first two 3s:

3 × 3 = 9

Then, take that result and multiply it by the next 3:

9 × 3 = 27

Therefore, the value of 3 cubed is 27. This is why the correct answer is represented by the choice that indicates this value. The other options do not equal the product of 3 multiplied three times and hence are incorrect.
