Question

A cube has a surface area of 181.5 sq in what is the length of its sides

Answer 1

Since a cube has 6 sides, divide 181.5 by 6. When you do that you get 30.25. Then you have to find the square foot of 30.25. This gives you 5.5. If you need fraction form it would be 5 1/2.

Answer 2

The length of its sides are 5.5 inches.

Explanation:

The formula of surface area of a cube

A = 6a²

Let the edge be x

181.5 = 6x²

x² =
`(181.5)/(6)`

x² = 30.25

x =
`√(30.25)`

x = 5.5 inches.

The length of its sides are 5.5 inches.
