When the lid is placed on the container, the surface area 1,176 square inches.
What is the volume of the storage container?
Solution:
The diagram shown below is a cube.
The surface area of a cube = 6s^2 = 1176
Divide both sides by 6
S^2 = 196
square root both sides , we have:
s = 14 inches^2
Volume of a cube = s^3 = 14 x 14 x 14 = 2744 inches^3
