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 \( 600 , \text{cm}^2 \).
