Question 212881This question is from textbook algebra 1
: a cubic storage box is made with 96 square feet of wood what is the length of each edge? This question is from textbook algebra 1
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the box is of side s, then each side has surface area of s^2. There will be 6 equal squares, so the total surface area is 6s^2.
6s^2=96
Divide each side by 6
s^2=96/6
s^2=16
s= 4 or s=-4
Reject the negative value of s, since the side of a square cannot be negative.
