The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is 6s ^ 2 where s is the length of each side of the square. Evaluate for s = 10 to find the number of square centimeters \langlec * m ^ 2\rangle for the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm.
To find the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm, we substitute s = 10 into the formula for surface area:
Surface Area = 6s^2
Surface Area = 6(10^2)
Surface Area = 6(100)
Surface Area = 600 square centimeters
Therefore, the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm is 600 square centimeters.
