Question 220351: Write an equation that gives the edge length (L) of a cube as a function of the surface area (A) of the cube. Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 6 faces for a cube. Since each edge is L, each "face" of the cube is L^2. The formula for Surface Area is
A= 6L^2
Solve for L, by dividing both sides by 6
Take the square root of each side, and remember that L>0.
