if total surface area of a cube is 1014 cm, find the
lateral surface area and main diagonal of the cube
Answers
Answer :
➥ The lateral surface area of a cube = 676 cm²
➥ The main diagonal of a cube = 13√3 cm
Given :
➤ Total surface area of a cube = 1014 cm
To Find :
➤ Lateral surface area of a cube = ?
➤ Main diagonal of a cube = ?
Solution :
To find lateral surface area of a cube and main diagonal of a cube first we need to find the edge of a cube from total surface area of cube formula.
As we know that
Total surface area of a cube = 6a²
→ 6a² = 1014
→ a² = 1014/6
→ a² = 169
→ a² = √169
→ a = 13 cm
Now ,
As we know that
Lateral surface area of a cube = 4a²
→ 4a²
→ 4 × 13²
→ 4 × 13 × 13
→ 52 × 13
→ 676 cm²
Hence, the lateral surface area of a cube is 576 cm².
As we know that
Main diagonal of a cube = √3a
→ √3a
→ √3 × 13
→ 13√3 cm
Hence, the main diagonal of a cube us 13√3 cm.
Total surface area of the cube = 1014 cm²
Lateral surface area of the cube = ?
we know that,
where, a = length of the cube
ATQ,
➝6a² = 1014
➝a² = 169
➝a = 13
But we also know that,
4a² = 4 × 13² cm²
= 4 × 169 cm²
= 676 cm²
Now,
√3a = √3 × 13 cm
= 13√3 cm
