Answer:

(i) side = 5 cm

(ii) SA = 150 cm²

Explanation:

(i)

V = s³


s = \sqrt[3]{V}


s = \sqrt[3]{125~cm^3}


s = 5~cm

The side of the cube measures 5 cm.

(ii)

The cube has 6 faces. The faces are congruent squares with side 5 cm.

SA = 6 × s²

SA = 6 × (5 cm)²

SA = 150 cm²

Answer:

The length of the cube is 5 cm.

The total surface area of the cube is 150 cm².

Explanation:

Given that:


\sf \textsf{ The volume of a cube}= 125 cm^3

We can find the length of the cube by using the formula:


\sf \textsf{Volume of cube }= length ^3

Substitute the value volume, we get:


\sf 125 cm^3 = length^3

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:


\sf length = \sqrt[3]{125} cm


\sf length = 5 cm

Therefore, the length of the cube is 5 cm.

The total surface area of a cube can be found using the formula:


\sf \textsf{ Total Surface Area of cube}= 6 * length^2

Substitute the value of length, we get:


\sf \textsf{ Total Surface Area of cube}= 6 * 5^2


\sf \textsf{ Total Surface Area of cube}= 6 * 25


\sf \textsf{ Total Surface Area of cube}= 150 cm^2

Therefore, the total surface area of the cube is 150 cm².
