The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is 6s2 , where s is the length of each side of the square. Evaluate for s=10 to find the number of square centimeters ( cm2 ) for the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm. (
The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is 6s^2, where s is the length of each side of the square.
To evaluate for s=10, we substitute s=10 into the formula:
Surface Area = 6(10)^2
= 6(100)
= 600
Therefore, the surface area of a cube with a side length of 10 cm is 600 square centimeters (cm^2).
