    The volume of a cube is 64. Its surface area is

    Volume of a cube is s^3 where s is the length of one side. V = 64 s^3 = 64 Take the cube root of each side: s = 4 since 4^3 = 64 Surface Area of a cube is 6s^2. With s = 4, we have: SA = 6(4)^2 SA =6(16) SA = 96

    The moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. What is the surface area of the moon? Round to the nearest mile.

    The moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. What is the surface area of the moon? Round to the nearest mile. The moon is a sphere. So our Surface Area formula is: S =4pir^2 If diameter is 2,159, then radius is 2,159/2 = 1079.5. Plug this into the Surface Area of a sphere formula: S = 4 * pi * 1079.5^2...
