Question

The surface area of a cube is 90 square centimeters. What is the area of one face of the cube?

Answer 1

15 square centimeters

Explanation:

A cube has 6 faces.

So, divide the surface area by 6 to get the surface area of a face of a cube.

Equation (for cube):

SA = surface area = 90

F = surface area of a face of a cube

F =
`(1)/(6)` × SA

F =
`(1)/(6)` × 90

F =
`(90)/(6)` = 15, F = 15

So, the area of one face of the cube is 15 square centimeters.
