Q. Solve the surface area formula A=6s2 for s. Then find the value of s when A=24.
Identify Formula: Identify the formula for the surface area of a cube.The formula given is A=6s2, where A is the surface area and s is the side length of the cube.
Substitute Value: Substitute the given value of A into the formula.We know A=24, so plug it into the formula: 24=6s2.
Solve for s2: Solve for s2.Divide both sides by 6 to isolate s2.624=s24=s2
Find Value of s: Find the value of s.Take the square root of both sides to solve for s.s=4s=2
