What is the difference in the surface area of two cubes, one with edge 15 and one with an edge of 12

Mathematics

Remark

A cube has six sides, all of them equal. The formula for 1 side is s^2. The formula for all six = 6s^2.


Step One

Find the surface area of the larger cube.

Area = 6 *s^2

s = 15

Area = 6 *15^2

Area = 6 * 225

Area = 1350


Step Two

Find the area of the smaller cube

Area = 6s^2

Area = 6 * 12^2

Area = 6 * 144

Area = 864


Step Three

Find the difference

Area1 - Area2 = difference

1350 - 864 = 486

The difference is area = 486 units^2 <<<<< Answer


There is a slightly shorter way. Take out the common factor of 6

Difference = 6 * (15^2 - 12^2)

Difference = 6 * (225 - 144)

Difference = 6 * (81)

Difference = 486

What is X and A??? The have to equal the same thing, but one is multiplying and one is adding (picture)
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
X*a = 244  is equation (1)
x+a = 2    is equation (2)

Solve equation (2) for 'a' to get
x+a = 2
a = 2-x
Call this equation (3)

We will plug equation (3) into equation (1)
x*a = 244
x*(a) = 244
x*(2-x) = 244
Notice how the 'a' is replaced with an expression in terms of x

Let's solve for x
x*(2-x) = 244
2x-x^2 = 244
x^2-2x+244 = 0

If we use the discriminant formula, d = b^2 - 4ac, then we find that...
d = b^2 - 4ac
d = (-2)^2 - 4*1*244
d = -972
indicating that there are no real number solutions to the equation x^2-2x+244 = 0

So this means that 'x' and 'a' in those two original equations are non real numbers. If you haven't learned about complex numbers yet, then the answer is simply "no solution". At this point you would stop here. 

If you have learned about complex numbers, then the solution set is approximately 
{x = 1 + 15.588i, a = 1 - 15.588i}
which can be found through the quadratic formula

Note: it's possible that there's a typo somewhere in the problem that your teacher gave you.
