Question

If a cube has a surface area of 150 in squared, what is the length of one of the sides

Answer 1

There are 6 faces on a cube. Each face of the cube is a square. The formula for the area of a square is s^2, where s is the square’s side length. Therefore, the surface area of a cube is 6 * s^2.

Now solving with the information given, we have

6* s^2 = 150

s^2 =25

s = 5
