Surface of a cubical box=6(side²)
1)We have to calculate the surface of this cubical box.
Rate=cost of painting / surface ⇒surface=cost of painting/rate
Data:
Rate=$15/m²
cost of painting=$1440
Surface=$1440/($15/m²)=96 m²
2)We find out the length of the side:
Surface of a cubical box=6(side²)
Data:
Surface of a cubical box=96 m2
Therefore:
96m²=6 (side²)
side²=96 m²/6
side²=16 m²
side=√(16 m²)=4 m
3) We find the volume of a cubical box.
volume=(side³)
volume=(4 m)³
volume=64 m³
Answer: the volume of this cubical box would be 64 m³.
