The surface area \( S \) of a cube is given by the formula:

\[
S = 6s^2
\]

where \( s \) is the length of a side of the cube. Given that the surface area is 302.46 m², we can set up the equation:

\[
6s^2 = 302.46
\]

Now, to find \( s^2 \):

\[
s^2 = \frac{302.46}{6}
\]

\[
s^2 = 50.41
\]

Taking the square root to find \( s \):

\[
s = \sqrt{50.41} \approx 7.1 \text{ m}
\]

Therefore, the length of each side of the cube is approximately \( 7.1 \) m.
