the lateral surface area of a cube is 576 sq.m. Find its volume
-----------
s = side length
SA = 4s^2 = 576
s = 12
-----
Vol = s^3 = 1728 cubic meters

the lateral surface area of a cube is 576 sq.m. Find its volume
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The lateral surface area of the cube consists of 4 congruent squares.

The area of one square is 576%2F4 = 144 sq. m.

Hence, the side measure is sqrt%28144%29 = 12 m.

Then the volume is 12%5E3 = 1728 m%5E3.
