Math Textbook pg. 80 #27

Question :
The surface area of a cube is 100 cm2. Determine the edge length of the cube to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.


Answer:
100 cm2 = 10 000
10 000/6 = 1 666.6666....
1 666.6666...= 40.8 cm2

40.8 cm2 = 1 664.64
1 664.64*6 = 9 987.84
9 987.84 = 99.9 cm2 

The length of one edge of the cube is approx. 40.8 cm2

This  website helped me a lot with this question.
