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 10 cm. (1 point)
To find the surface area of a cube, you use the formula:
Surface Area = 6s^2
where s is the length of one side of the cube.
Given s = 10 cm, you plug this value into the formula:
Surface Area = 6 * (10 cm)^2
Surface Area = 6 * 100 cm^2
Surface Area = 600 cm^2
So the surface area of a cube with each side being 10 cm long is 600 square centimeters.
