John made a cubical lantern.
\n" ); document.write( " The total length of its edges is 36 dm.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the total surface area that he has to cover?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A cube has 12 edges, therefore one edge: 36/12 = 3 dm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A cube has 6 sides, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "Surface area of a cubes 6 time the area of each side
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 6 * 3^2
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 54 sq/dm
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
