you have a square with each side measuring 1.0*10^3 angstroms. area of a square is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=a^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great! so apply that to this question..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 1000000 abd for the surface area it would be 6000000000000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i'm doing something wrong here

@navk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1000000 - this you got right but how did you get 600000 .. ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did 6a^2 and it gave me 60.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you did is correct if it were a cube, but the question doesn't say it is; It seems that there is only a surface

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm a bit confused on how to find a surface area of a square if it's not cubed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From the question it seems there is only a surface of the atoms, and a square surface of side 1.0 * 10^3 angstroms. So it is simply the area of a square
