Question
The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is 6s2
, 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)
cm2

Answer 1

To find the surface area of a cube using the formula \( 6s^2 \), where \( s \) is the length of each side, we can substitute \( s = 10 \) cm into the formula.

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

Substituting the value of \( s \):

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

Calculating \( (10)^2 \):

\[
(10)^2 = 100
\]

Now, substituting back into the formula:

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

Thus, the surface area of the cube is \( 600 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
