Question 352376: a cube has a surface area of 108 square feet.What is the area of one face?
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A cube has faces.  It has  

1. a front face
2. a back face
3. a left face
4. a right face
5. a top face
6. a bottom face 

Sometimes faces of cubes are called "sides", but
the proper name for a "side" is a "face".

Each of those faces is a square and all 6 of them are exactly alike.
So to find the area of just 1 face, divide 108 square feet by 6 and
get 18 square feet.
