SA=3750cm2

The volume of a cube is determined by the formula
V=s3 where s is the measurement of each edge. Since cube has six square faces, each of the faces will have the area of a square which we know to be A=s2. Therefore the total surface area of a cube will be the area of a square multiplied by six (faces). SA=6s2 Solving for the length of edge (side): V=s3 s=3√V=315625cm3 s=25cm Solving for the surface area: SA=6s2=6(25cm)2 SA=3750cm2
