Question

What is the surface area of a cube with a side length of 3/4 inch? Use the expression 6s 2, where is the side length of the cube

Answer 1

Answer: The surface area of the cube would be 3^3/4.

Explanation:

A cube has 6 faces [ 6 surfaces ]. Each surface has a square shape.

The area of 1 surface= (side)^2= 3/4 · 3/4= 9/16 sqr.in.

Surface area of cube =9/16 · 1/6= 54/16.

divide both top and bottom (54 and 16) by 2. you should end up with 27/8.

27/8 = 3^3/4 sqr. in.

Hope this helps.
