Question

Given the conversion factor 3.28ft/ 1 m which cube has the larger surface area?

Answer 1

Answer:

Solid A

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the surface area of a cube = 6a²

Where a = side length

Solid A = 17ft

For solid A, surface area = 6 × (17 ft)²

= 1734 ft²

For Solid B

the conversion factor 3.28ft/ 1 m

Solid B = 5m

Hence, converting 5m to ft

= 5m × 3.28ft

= 16.4 ft

Therefore, the surface area of solid B = 6 × (16.4 ft)²

= 1613.76 ft²

Therefore, from the above calculation, cube that has the larger surface area is Solid A
