Net for a cube has a total surface area of 150 in.2. what is the length of one side of a square face

djverab [1.8K]

Surface area of a cube is given by
SA=6a²
but
SA=150 in²
thus
150=6a²
solving for a we obtain:
150/6=a²
a²=25
thus
a=√25
a=5 inches
hence the side length is 5inches

7w + 6 + 2w = (w + 2)

Sindrei [870]

Hey there!

The correct answer is $w = \frac{-1}{2}$

$7w + 6 + 2w = w + 2$ ~ Write the equation

$9w + 6 = w + 2$ ~ Simplify

$8w + 6 = 2$ ~ Subtract $w$ from both sides

$8w = -4$ ~ Subtract $6$ from both sides

$w = \frac{-1}{2}$ ~ Divide both sides by 8

Hope it helps and have a great day!
