Answer:

A = 3.706 square meters

Explanation:

the length of a cube has equal side.

therefore, the volume of a cube is given by S³

V = S³ = 7.14

where S is the length of a side

the surface area of a cube is = 6S²

where the area a aside is calculated, then it is multiply by 6.

if S³ = 7.14

S = ∛(7.14) = 1.925 m

What is the cross-sectional area that is parallel to one of its faces?

this is saying we should calculate for the cross-sectional area of one face. All faces in a cube is equal and parallel to each other.

the crossectional area of one side of a cube is = S² = 1.925² = 3.706 square meters

A = 3.706 square meters
