If the volume of the cube is 512cmsquared, what is the surface area of the cube?

This should get you started.

512 = 8^3

so the area is 6*8^2

Just to be precise, volume is not measured in cm^2.

To find the surface area of a cube, we need to know either the length of its edges or the volume. In this case, we are given the volume of the cube, which is 512 cm^3. However, it seems there is a mistake in the question, as the volume of a cube should be in cubic centimeters (cm^3) not cubic centimeters squared (cm^2).

If the volume is indeed 512 cm^3, we can find the length of the edges by taking the cube root of the volume since the edge length of a cube is the same for all three dimensions.

To do this, we can calculate the cube root of 512:
∛512 ≈ 8 cm.

Now that we know the edge length of the cube is 8 cm, we can find its surface area. The surface area of a cube is given by the formula: 6 * (edge length)^2.

Plugging in the value we found:
Surface Area = 6 * (8 cm)^2 = 6 * 64 cm^2 = 384 cm^2.

Therefore, if the volume of the cube is 512 cm^3, then the surface area of the cube is 384 cm^2.
