Question

The surface area S of a cube with the side length a is given by the formula S=6a^2. Find the side length of a cube with the Surface are of 700 square inches. Round to the nearest integer

Answer 1

Side length of cube = 10.80 inch (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Surface area of cube = 700 square inches

Find:

Side length of cube

Computation:

We know that all sides of cube are equal

Surface are of cube = 6(Side)²

By putting 700 as surface are of cube in the formula;

700 = 6(Side)²

(Side)² = 700 / 6

(Side)² = 116.667

Side = √116.667

Side = 10.801

Side length of cube = 10.80 inch (Approx.)
