Question

The volume of a cube is 512 cm3 . What is the area, in square centimetres, of each side of the cube?

Answer 1

64 cm^2

Explanation:

The formula for volume of a cube is v = (side length)^3 or
`s^(3)` where s= side length.

To get the length of one side, you need to take the cube root of 512cm^3, which gives you side length = 8

The formula for area of a square is A=s^2 where s= side length.

Plug s=8 into the equation, so A = 8^2 = 64

The area of each side is 64 cm^2
