Question:
Find the volume of a cube whose surface area is 384 m2.
Solution:
Surface area of a cube is given by:
$S A=6 s^{2}$, where $s=$ Side of the cube
Further, volume of a cube is given by:
$V=s^{3}$, where $s=$ Side of the cube
It is given that the surface area of the cube is 384 m2. Therefore, we have:
$6 s^{2}=384 \Rightarrow s=\sqrt{\frac{384}{6}}=\sqrt{64}=8 \mathrm{~m}$
Now, volume is given by:
$V=s^{3}=8^{3} \Rightarrow V=8 \times 8 \times 8=512 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
Thus, the required volume is 512 m3.
