plz help, 7th grade math

Answer 1

Explanation:

let x be the length of cube=x in

surface area=6 x²

6 x²=96

x²=96/6=16

x=√16=4 in

Answer 2

16 inches

Explanation:

A cube has 6 sides and to find the surface area you would multiply one side by 6, or add the six sides together. So instead, to find the length of one side, you divide the surface area, 96, by 6 to get 16.

Hope this helps you :)
