A diagonal of a cube measures StartRoot 294 EndRoot cm. The diagonal of a face measures 14 cm. What is the length of an edge of the cube? Round to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Respuesta :

The side of the edge of the cube is 9. 9cm

How to determine the length

Given that the diagonal of a cube measures the square root of 294cm and the diagonal of a face measures 14cm

To find the edge of the face, we know that the face of the cube is a square

Formula for diagonal of a square = [tex]\sqrt{2a}[/tex]

Where is the side of the square

We then have,

[tex]\sqrt{2a} = 14[/tex]

Make 'a' the subject

a = [tex]\frac{14}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

Simplify the surd

a = [tex]\frac{14}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] × [tex]\frac{14}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

a = [tex]\frac{14\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex]

a = [tex]7\sqrt{2}[/tex]

a = 9. 9cm

Therefore, the side of the edge of the cube is 9. 9cm
