Answer:
2.83 inches
Explanation:
The formula for surface area of cube = 6s²
Where
s = side length of cube
S.A = 6s²
s² = S.A/6
s = √S.A /6
For cube a
Surface area = 1200 in²
Hence,
side length = √1200/6
Side length = √200
= 14.14 inches
For cube b
Surface area = 768 in²
Hence,
side length = √768/6
Side length = √128
= 11.13 inches
How much longer is the side of a cube with a surface area of 1,200 square inches than a cube with the surface area of 768 square inches?
Therefore,
14.14 inches - 11.13 inches
= 2.83 inches
