what is the surface area of the cube below? answer in simplest radical form.
One surface of the cube is 576 cm^3
Better check your problem. The surface cannot be cm^3.
If one face is 576 cm^2, then of course, the total surface is 6 times that.
But, the wording implies that the surface involves some radicals. If each face is 576 cm^2, then one side is √576 = 24 cm.
To find the surface area of a cube, we need to know the length of one side (s). In this case, we know that the volume of one surface of the cube is 576 cm^3.
The volume of a cube is given by the formula V = s^3, where s is the length of one side. Since we are given the volume of one surface, we need to find the length of one side.
To find the length of one side, we can solve the equation V = s^3 for s. In this case, we have V = 576 cm^3. Taking the cube root of both sides of the equation, we get:
s = V^(1/3)
s = (576 cm^3)^(1/3)
Now let's simplify the cube root:
s = (6^2 * 2^2 cm^3)^(1/3)
s = (2^2 * 2^2 * 2^2 * 3 cm^3)^(1/3)
s = (2^6 * 3 cm^3)^(1/3)
s = (64 * 3 cm^3)^(1/3)
s = (192 cm^3)^(1/3)
Now that we have found the length of one side (s), we can find the surface area of the cube using the formula A = 6s^2:
A = 6 * (s^2)
A = 6 * ((192 cm^3)^(1/3))^2
Simplifying further, we have:
A = 6 * (192 cm^3)^(2/3)
The resulting surface area is in simplest radical form, considering the cube root.
