Question

One face of a cube-shaped package has an area of 7 5/8 square inches what is the lateral surface area of the package in square inches

Answer 1

232.57 square inches

Explanation:

The computation of the lateral surface area of the package in square inches is shown below;

Let us assume the area of cube is a

Given that

a =
`7 (5)/(8)\ in^2`

As we know that in a cube there is a four faces so the lateral surface area would be

`= 4a^2\\\\=4* 7(5)/(8) ^2\\\\= 4* ((61)/(8))^2\\\\= 4* (3721)/(64) \\\\= 232.57`

= 232.57 square inches
