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