Surface Area
If a cube has a surface area of 54, what is the measure of one side?
In working as an ASVAB tutor, I emphasize the importance of knowing the various formulas for geometry. Geometry is an important part of the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB. Students preparing for the ASVAB need to know how to find perimeter, circumference, area, surface area and volume. The surface area of a shape is the area of all the sides of a three-dimensional shape. In this question, it asks about the surface area of a cube. A cube is a square box. It has six sides, and each side has the same length. Do you know the formula for the surface area of a cube? I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
