Find the equation for the surface area of a cube with an edge of x centimetres long.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Each face of the cube is a square that has a length of x cm for a side. The area of a
\n" ); document.write( "square is found by squaring the length of a side. So the area of a face of this given
\n" ); document.write( "cube is \"x%2Ax+=+x%5E2\". Think about the shape of the cube. (A die is an example.) It has
\n" ); document.write( "a total of 6 faces ... 4 going around it plus a top face and a bottom face. Since there are
\n" ); document.write( "6 faces and each face has an area of \"x%5E2\", the total surface area (call it S) is given
\n" ); document.write( "by:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"S+=+6%2Ax%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "and since the given dimensions for the side of a face is in centimetres, the units of the
\n" ); document.write( "answer is square centimetres
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To find the volume of a cylinder, you multiply the area of its circular base times the
\n" ); document.write( "height of the cylinder. The area (A) of a circle is given by the equation:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+pi%2AR%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "where R is the radius of the circle. In this problem you are told that the radius is
\n" ); document.write( "given by x, so substitute x metres for R and the equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+pi%2Ax%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Then, to find the volume (V) you multiply this area by the height (H) and you get:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+A%2AH+=+pi%2Ax%5E2+%2AH\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "but you are given that the height of the cylinder is 5 m. Substituting this value for
\n" ); document.write( "H results in the volume equation becoming:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+pi%2Ax%5E2%2A5+=+5%2Api%2Ax%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "and since the radius and height are in metres, the units of the answer is cubic metres.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you can track the development of each of these equations and that it helps you to
\n" ); document.write( "understand the problems a little better.
