Question

you can use the formula a = 6s² to find the surface area of a cube with edge length s. a cube has edges that are 10 in. long. what is the surface area of the cube? show your work.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the value of s

Given s = 10 in.

Step2: Substitute s into the formula

A = 6×s² = 6×(10)².

Step3: Calculate (10)²

(10)²=10×10 = 100.

Step4: Calculate 6×100

A = 6×100 = 600 in².

Answer:

600 in²
