The volume of a cube is 2197 cm3. What is its lateral surface area (in cm2)?

  • A.676
  • B.576
  • C.845
  • D.1014

Answer: A

The lateral surface area is 676 cm2.

The side of the cube is the cube root of its volume, and the lateral surface is the four side faces.

\[ \begin{aligned} a &= \sqrt[3]{2197} = 13 \text{ cm} \\ \text{LSA} &= 4a^{2} = 4 \times 169 = 676 \end{aligned} \]

1014 is the total surface area, \(6a^{2}\), which includes the top and bottom; the question asks for the lateral area only. 845 is \(5a^{2}\), and 576 is \(4 \times 12^{2}\), using the wrong side.
