Question

The surface area of a cube is 96cm2. What is the length of one side

Answer 1

Answer:

A cube is comprised of 6 square faces

If the surface area is 96 cm2, then the area of each face is

96/6 = 16 cm2

And each side would be 4 cm since area of a square is s2

The length of each side is 4 cm.

The volume of a cube is s3

43 = 64 cm3

Answer 2

Answer:

Surface area of cube =

$6 {a}^{2} = 96 {cm}^{2}$

${a}^{2} = \frac{96}{6}$

${a}^{2} = 16$

$a = \sqrt{16}$

$a = 4cm$

Hence. Length of one side = 4cm.
