Question

The volume of a cube is 27 cubic meters. What is its surface area, in square meters?

Answer 1

`54m^2`

Explanation:

Since it's a "cube", all sides must be equal. Therefore, the length of one side is equal to the cube root of the volume.
`root(3)27=3`
An area of one surface is equal to `3^2 = 9`
Since the area of all surfaces are equal, we can assume that the surface area of this cube is `9*6`, because there are 6 surfaces on a cube
`9*6=54`
