The surface area of this cube is 24 square inches. What is the volume?
Let's start by using the formula for the surface area of a cube:
SA = 6s²
where s is the length of one side. We know that the surface area is 24 square inches, so we can set up the equation:
24 = 6s²
Now we can solve for s:
24/6 = s²
4 = s²
s = 2
So each side of the cube is 2 inches long.
To find the volume of the cube, we use the formula:
V = s³
where s is the length of one side.
V = 2³
V = 8
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 8 cubic inches.
