What is the surface area of a cube with faces that each have an area of 16 cm\(^2\)?
Answer (3)
The cube have 6 faces. The area of the one face is equal 16 cm².
Therefore: Surface area of the cube: S=6 × 16 cm² = 96 cm²
To find out what one side measures you will have to take the square root of the Area.
16 = 4
To find out surface area of the cube you use the formula A = 6 a 2 , where a = side.
Therefore, A = 6 ( 4 2 ) A = 6 ( 16 ) A = 96 c m 2
The surface area of the cube is calculated using the formula A = 6 a 2 where a is the side length. Given each face has an area of 16 cm², the side length is 4 cm. Thus, the total surface area is 96 cm².
