Answer:
0.512a³ cubic units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a cube of length, a, then when decreased by 20%, what's left is actually 80% of the original. So, for this case, we have a cube with a length of 80%(a) = 0.80a.
Now, to compute for the volume of a cube, we multiply the length three times to itself. Or, in other words, raise the length to the third power. That means the volume of the new cube is (0.8a)³ = 0.512a³ cubic units.
To find the surface area, multiply length x width x height.
let "length" = l
l x 32 x 36 = 4344
Simplify
l x (32 x 36) = 4344
l x 1152 = 4344
Isolate the length. Divide 1152 from both sides
(l x 1152)/1152 = (4344)/1152
l = 4344/1152
l = 3.77 (rounded)
3.77 cm is your length.
