The surface area of a cube is 13.5 m2. What is the length (in m) of its diagonal?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1.5√3

Let the measure of each side of the cube be A meter.

The surface area of the cube = 6a2

a = 1.5

Diagonal of cube = a√3 

Length of diagonal of cube = a√3 = 1.5√3
