Question 1: find the volume of a cube whose total surface area is 486cm^2

Answer 1

The volume of cube is 729 cubic centimeter

Solution:

The surface area of cube is given as:

$Surface\ area = 6a^2$

Where, "a" is the length of side of cube

Given that, surface area = 486 square centimeter

$486 = 6a^2\\\\a^2 = \frac{486}{6}\\\\a^2 = 81\\\\a = 9$

Find the volume of cube:

$volume\ of\ cube = a^3\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 9^3\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 9 \times 9 \times 9\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 729$

Thus volume of cube is 729 cubic centimeter
