Question

Anthony is building a cube-shaped box to store some of his smaller crafting supplies. The formula for the surface area of a cube is SA = 6s 2 , where s is the side length of the cube. If he has a total of 200 in. 2of cardboard, can Anthony build a box where s = 6 in.?

A) No, he needs 16 in. 2more cardboard.
B) No, he needs 232 in. 2more cardboard.
C) Yes, he will have 56 in. 2of cardboard left over.
D) Yes, he will have 128 in. 2of cardboard left over

Answer 1

I'll go through the setup and let you compute the answer

Explanation:

I think you meant

`SA = 6 {s}^(2)`

and the sheet of cardboard if

`200 {in}^(2)`

Find the surface area of a 6 inch cube

`SA = 6 * {6}^(2)`
