Q. AcBDThe surface area of a cube is 294in2.What is the length, in inches, of one side of the cube?A) 6B) 7C) 8
Define Surface Area: A cube has 6 equal sides, and the surface area is the sum of the areas of all six sides. So, to find the area of one side, we divide the total surface area by 6.Surface Area of one side = Total Surface Area /6
Calculate Area of One Side: Now we plug in the given total surface area into the equation.Surface Area of one side = 294in2/6
Find Side Length: Calculate the surface area of one side.Surface Area of one side = 49in2
Find Side Length: Calculate the surface area of one side.Surface Area of one side = 49in2Since the area of one side of a cube is equal to the side length squared, we can find the side length by taking the square root of the area of one side.Side length = Surface Area of one side
Find Side Length: Calculate the surface area of one side.Surface Area of one side = 49in2 Since the area of one side of a cube is equal to the side length squared, we can find the side length by taking the square root of the area of one side.Side length = Surface Area of one side Now we calculate the side length.Side length = 49in2Side length = 7in
