A cube has a lateral area of 9 square centimeters. What is the length of each edge of the cube?

Check the picture below, that'd be a cube, all equal sides so 6 squares really, its lateral or sides section are just the squares at front, back, left, right.
if say, one side is hmm "s" units long, the area of just one square is s*s or s², and the area of those four lateral squares will just be 4(s²), or 4s² then.
now, we know the lateral area is 9 cm², namely 9 = 4s², thus
and surely you know how much that is.

So, this is a proportion problem. If we express 75% as a fraction (3/4ths), we have:
Since he won all of his games, we add the number won (x), to the number previously won and divide it by the total games played which is just the previous games played plus the number of current games played, so since he lost no games we still add x to the denominator as well. Solving this gives us:
That x value is 20.
