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 10cm
To find the surface area of a cube, we use the formula: 6s^2, where s is the length of each side of the square.
Substituting s = 10 into the formula, we have:
Surface Area = 6 * 10^2
Calculating the value using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
Surface Area = 6 * 100
Surface Area = 600
Therefore, the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm is 600 square centimeters (cm^2).
