The formula for finding the surface 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 squares centimeters (cm2) for the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10cm.
To evaluate the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm, substitute s=10 into the formula:
Surface area = 6s^2 = 6(10)^2 = 6(100) = 600 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm is 600 cm².
