One side of a cube is 
long. What is the surface area of the cube?
One side of a cube is
To find the surface area of a cube, we find the area of a face by multiplying two of its sides together; then, we multiply by 
, since a cube has six faces. So, if 
is the length of one side of a cube, then the cube's surface area can be represented as 
.
We know that for this problem, 
, so we can substitute this value into the equation and solve for the cube's surface area:

What is the surface area of the cube?
Using the volume given, we take it's cube to find the length of the cube: 
cm.
Therefore, the length of the cube is 8 cm.
Knowing the properties of a cube, this implies that the width and height of the cube is also 8 cm.
Since all sides are identical, the formula for the surface area is length times width times the number of sides: 
.
