You can think of the shape as having a square base, with a thin tower on top.
How many 1 cm cubes form the base, and how many form the tower?
(Note: the broken line in the diagram represents a hidden edge.)

 

Answer

There are six 1 cm cubes altogether.

I see a tower made of 3 cubes on top of each other, with 3 more cubes around the tower's base.
So 6 cubes in all.
