Question

If you have a cube-shaped with 6 sides and each sides 4 cm in length and width what will be the Surface area? Volume? Ratio of surface area to volume?

Answer 1

Answer:

The surface area will be 96 square centimeters(96cm^2), and the volume will be 64 cubic centimeters(64cm^3). The ratio is 3:2.

Explanation:

To find surface area, you find the area of one side of the cube, which is length x width. For a cube, the length and width are the same, so it was 4x4, which gives you 16, and then you multiply that by the number of sides, 6, to get 96.

To find volume, you multiply length x width x height, which are all 4cm for the cube.

To find the ratio, you compare the surface area to the volume similar to a fraction, except side by side. I simplified 96 and 64 by dividing them by 8, which gave me 12:8, and then I simplified that by 3 which gave me 3:2.

Hope this helps!
