Question

Ellie made a cube-shaped cardboard box with side-length s. The area of cardboard she used is given by the formula A = 6s^2, where s represents the side length of the cube. Which equation correctly solves the formula for s?

A) s=A/6
A) s=
A) s=A/6for s?
A) s=A/6

Answer 1

To solve for the side length 's' given the surface area 'A' of a cube, use the equation 's = \(\sqrt{\frac{A}{6}}\)'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellie used the formula A = 6s^2 to determine the area of cardboard used for a cube. To solve for the side length (s) of the cube, we need to manipulate the formula. Given that the area A is equivalent to six times the square of the side length, we can find s by dividing the area A by 6 and then taking the square root.

The correct equation to solve for s is s = \(\sqrt{\frac{A}{6}}\), where A is the total surface area of the cube.
