The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is 6s2

Question

, where s
is the length of each side of the square. Evaluate for s=10
to find the number of square centimeters ( cm2
) for the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm. (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the surface area of a cube with a side length of \( s = 10 \) cm, you can use the formula for the surface area:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 6s^2 \]

Substituting \( s = 10 \) cm into the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 6(10)^2 \]

Calculating \( (10)^2 \):

\[ (10)^2 = 100 \]

Now, substitute back into the surface area formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 6 \times 100 = 600 \]

Thus, the surface area of the cube is:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 600 , \text{cm}^2 \]

So, the surface area of the cube is 600 square centimeters (cm²).
