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)

Answer 1

To find the surface area of a cube when the side length \( s \) is 10 cm, we use the formula for the surface area of a cube:

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

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

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

Calculating \( (10)^2 \):

\[
(10)^2 = 100
\]

Now, substituting back into the equation:

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

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is:

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

So the answer is \( 600 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
