Question:

Find the length of the diagonal of a closed cube whose total surface area is 96 m2.

Options:

$8 \sqrt{3}$ m

$4 \sqrt{3}$ m

$2 \sqrt{3}$ m

4 m

Correct Answer:

$4 \sqrt{3}$ m

Explanation:

We know that,

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

The total surface area of a cube = 6a2 ( If a is the side )

We have,

The total surface area of the room = 96 m2

6a2 = 96

= a2 = 16

= a = 4

The length of the diagonal of the cube = 4\(\sqrt {3}\) m.
