How to find the surface area of a cube if its volume is 216 cm3?

We can find the volume of a cube by multiplying its width, length and height. Since all dimensions of a cube are equal, its volume can also be expressed as the length of an edge in a cube. Let’s denote the edge of this cube by x cm.

x ^ 3 = 216

Hence x = 6.

Let’s find the area of one of the faces of the cube. The face is a square.

6 ^ 2 = 36 (sq. Cm.)

Let’s find the surface area of a cube, which consists of six such faces.

36 * 6 = 216 (sq. Cm.)

Answer: 216 sq. Cm.
