Question

Think of a cube whose edges are 6 cm long. 1). The volume of the cube is_______cm³. 2). The total area of the cube is_________cm².​

Answer 1

Explanation:

For the volume, it would be length times width times height, and it is a cube, so they are all the same, meaning it would be 6*6*6. That is equal to 216 cm3, which is the answer for the first one. The total area, meaning surface area, would be found by finding the area of one side, which is 6*6, which is 36, and then multiplying by the number of sides, because it is a square, cube. The surface area is also 216 cm2.

1) 216 cm3 (cm^3)

2) 216 cm2 (cm^2)
