What is the volume of a cube whose surface area is 54 cm2?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 27 cm3.
Given that
The surface area of a cube = 54 cm2
Formula used
The surface area of a cube = 6 × side2
The volume of a cube = side3
Calculation
⇒ 6 × side2 = 54
⇒ side2 = 54/6 = 9
⇒ side = 3 cm
Hence, the volume of the cube = 33 = 27 cm3
