Find the length of a cube with a surface area of 850cm^2 rounded to the nearest tenth. I need a step by step solution pleaseeee:)

Respuesta :

Answer:

11.9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has a SURFACE AREA of 850 cm^2.

A cube has six congruent sides. That means that each side measures 850 / 6 = 141.666666667 cm^2.

Since a side measures 141.66667 cm^2, a side length will be the square root of that (the area of a square is a side length times the side length, and they are the same).

[tex]\sqrt{141.666666666667}[/tex]

= 11.90238071

So, the side length of the cube is 11.9 cm.

Hope this helps!
