Question

The surface area of a cube is 600 square inches. What is the area of one of its faces?

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of one face of the cube is $100 inches^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is a three dimensional figure that has all of its sides equal.

A cube has six square faces:

Surface area of the cube = $6a^2$

where 'a' is the side length of the cube:

Area of one face of a cube= $a^2$

For surface area of the whole cube: 500 square inches

$6a^2=600$

Dividing by '6' both sides;

$a^2=600/6$

$a^2=100inches^2$

Area of one face of the cube is $100 inches^2$
