Question

Given a surface area of a cube with 600 square meters find the length of one side

Answer 1

• 10 meters

-----------------------

A cube with a side a has a surface area of 6a², since it has 6 faces of an area a².

Set up an equation and solve for a:

• 6a² = 600
• a² = 100
• a = √100
• a = 10

The length of a side is 10 m.
