If the total surface area of a cube is 96 cm2 , then find the volume of the cube.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We know that,
Surface area of cube = Total surface area of a cube = 6a2
Volume of cube = a3
Given,
Surface area of cube = 96 cm2
= Putting the given value, we get = 6a2 = 96
= a2 = \(\frac{96}{6}\) = 16
= a = \(\sqrt {16}\) = 4 cm
Side of cube, a = 4 cm
Volume of cube = a3
= a3 = 43 = 64 cm3
