What is the area of one face of this cube?

rishavraj · Answer

surface area of cube = 6a^2
so
$$6 a^2 = 864$$
once u get the side length  i.e "a" u can calculate the area of one face

what 6*6*6=216 not 864

anonymous · Answer

i dont get it

rishavraj · Answer

see the surface area of a cube with side length "a" = $$6 a^2$$
the given surface area is 864
so 
$$6 a^2 = 864$$

anonymous · Answer

so 6 is the ans

No ur over thinking it you just have to divide 864 by 6 so the answer is 144

A cube is made up of 6 faces. 
You are given the total surface ares of the 6 faces. 
You want the surface area of one single face.
This is a one-step problem involving only one operation.
