Answer:

I believe the answer would be 4

Explanation:

I'm going to use (a) to represent the side length in my explanation. side length is equivalent to the square root of the surface area over 6. The 6 is coming from there being 6 faces on a cube. So to solve this equation, you would first write it out. a=96/6. Next you would divide 96/6, giving you 16. and then lastly, you would find the square root of 16, which is 4. giving you a final answer of 4.

Hope this helps, and you understand it more!
