Question

The surface area of a cube is 96 square cm. What would be length of the side of the cube?

Answer 1

The dimensions of a cube (length, width, and height) are equal.

 

A cube has six faces, so, if the area is 96cm², then, the Area of one of the faces will be 96cm² ÷ 6 = 16cm²

 

since Area = L x W = L², then L = √16cm² = 4cm.
