The surface area of the cube is 54 cm2. What is the length of its rib?

A cube is a regular polyhedron, each face of which is a square, and the edges are of the same length.

Its surface area is determined by the formula:

S = 6a². Provided that it is 54 cm², we find the length of its edge, based on this formula:

6а² = 54,

a² = 54: 6 = 9,

a = √9 = 3 cm.
