The surface area of a cube is 24cm^2. Find the length of the sides.

1 answer

The surface area of a cube is given by the formula:

Surface Area = 6s^2

where S is the length of the sides of the cube.

We are given that the surface area of the cube is 24cm².

Therefore, we can write:

6s² = 24cm²

Dividing both sides by 6, we get:

s² = 4cm²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

s = 2cm

Therefore, the length of each side of the cube is 2cm.
