Question

An ottoman in the shape of a cube has a volume of 27 cubic centimeters.What is the surface area of the ottoman? 18 27 54 81

Answer 1

C (54 cm^2)

Explanation:

We can use the formula for cube volume to find the side:

V=s^3

27=s^3

s=cubic root of(27)

s=cubic root of(3*3*3)

s=3

Now, we can use the formula for cube surface area to find the surface area:

SA=6*(s)^2

SA=6*(3)^2

SA=6*9

SA=54

Thus, the answer is 54 centimeters squared, which is option 3, or C
