Question 948411: A cube has a surface area of 200 square inches. Which choice is closest to the length of an edge of the cube? Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A cube has 6 square faces, so each face would have area 200 sq in/6=33.33 sq in
Since the area of each face equals the square of the sides, the edge of the cube would be = approx. 5.77 in
