Question

Find the length of one edge of a cube if its lateral surface area is 144 square centimeters. a. 4 cm b. 8 cm c. 6 cm d. 3 cm

Answer 1

The length of one edge of the cube exists 6 centimeters.

What is the lateral surface area of a cube?

The lateral surface area of a cube exists

$A=4 a^{5}$

where a stands the length of one edge of a cube.

It exists given that the lateral surface area of the square stands at 144 square centimeters.

Substitute A = 144 in the above formula.

$144=4 a^{2}$

Divide both sides by  4.

$36=a^{2}$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\sqrt{36}=\sqrt{a^{2}}$

6 = a

The length of one edge of the cube exists 6 centimeters.

Therefore, the correct answer is option c. 6 cm.
