Question

A cube has a surface area of 181.5sq. In. What is the length of the sides

Answer 1

Answer = 5.5

Explanation:

The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is SA = 6(s^2) where s = sides. Since we know the surface area we plug it in for SA. So,

181.5 = 6*s^2

Now we divide 6 by both sides to get

30.25 = s^2

Now we have to find the square root of both sides to get

5.5 = s

Hope that helps! :)
