If a cube has a surface area of 6x^2+60+150 what is the length of a side?
6(x^2 +10x+25) - i think you have missed one x there next 60 ,yes ?
yes I did, thanks after 60
ok - than 6(x^2 +10x +25) =6(x+5)^2 -so can you continue it ?
- so a cube how many side has ?
x+5
answer me the question please
The question is Find the length of a side?
yes but i have wrote to you from how many sides you will get the surface area of a cube ?
can tel me ?
okay, thanks!
what ? not is ended again
so lateral there are 4 sides and one down and one up so this is total 6 yes ?
than from your equation we have got 6(x+5)^2
- so if 6*(x+5^2 is the surface area of cube so than from this result that one side has area of (x+5)^2 - yes ?
- so but you know that area of a square - because the side of a cube is a form of square - so area of a square is equal side time side what is side squared - yes ?
Thank you so much for helping me!
- so than (x+5)^2 will be area of a side than from this resulted that one side will be x+5 - so than x=5 - because one lenght not can be never negativ
hope so much that was understandably sure right
ok ?
yes, it was was! thanks again!
