Question:

The surface area of a cube is 13.5 m2. What is the length (in m) of its diagonal ?

Options:

$2 \sqrt{3}$

$1.5 \sqrt{3}$

1.5

2

Correct Answer:

$1.5 \sqrt{3}$

Explanation:

We know that,

Surface area of a cube = 6(side)2

Diagonal of cube = \(\sqrt {3}\) × Side of cube

We have,

The surface area of the cube = 13.5 m2

According to the question,

6 × side2 = 13.5 

side = 1.5 

Longest diagonal = \(\sqrt {3}\) × Side of cube = 1.5\(\sqrt {3}\)
