Question

The volume of a cube is 27 cm^3 what is the area of the square base

Answer 1

In general, the volume of the cube is given by the formula below

`V=s^3`

Where s is the length of one of its sides.

Therefore, since the volume is 27c,^3,

`\begin{gathered} V=27 \\ \Rightarrow s=3 \end{gathered}`

Finally, the area of the square base is given by

`A=s^2`

Thus,

`\Rightarrow A=3\cdot3=9`

The answer is 9cm^2
