Question

The formula s=SA/6 gives the length of the side s, of a cube with a surface area SA. With a surface area of 240 square meters than a cube with the surface area of 180 square meters?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.84 m

The side of the cube with the surface area of 240 square meters is 0.84 meters longer than the cube with the surface area of 180 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question must be:

The formula $s=\sqrt{\frac{SA}{6}}$ gives the length of the side, s, of a cube with the surface area, SA. How much longer is the side of the cube with a surface area of 240 square meters than a cube with the surface area of 180 square meters ?

Given formula to calculate side of a cube:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{SA}{6}}$

where $s$is the side of the cube and $SA$ is the surface area of the cube.

For a cube with surface area of 240 square meters, the side can be calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{240}{6}}$

$s=6.32\ m$

For a cube with surface area of 180 square meters, the side can be calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{180}{6}}$

$s=5.48\ m$

The difference in the sides of the cubes is = $6.32\ m-5.48\ m=0.84\ m$

Thus, the side of the cube with the surface area of 240 square meters is 0.84 meters longer than the cube with the surface area of 180 square meters.
