Question from cailtlin, a student: hi.. if the surface area of a cube is 384 cm^2, how could i find the length of one edge? thank you |
Hi Cailtlin,
The surface of a cube is made from 6 congruent squares.
What is the area of each square?
What is the formula for the area of a square?
Use the answer to the two previous questions to find the length of an edge.
