A diagonal of a cube measures StartRoot 150 EndRoot cm. The diagonal of a face measures 10 cm.

What is the length, in centimeters, of an edge of the cube? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

The side of the edge of the cube is 7. 07cm

How to determine the length

Given that a  diagonal of a cube measures the square root of 150 cm and the diagonal of a face measures 10 cm.

Let's find the edge of the face

Note that the face of the cube is in the shape of square .

The diagonal of the face is 10 cm.

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

a is the side of the square face

We have that,

[tex]\sqrt{2a} = 10[/tex]

Make 'a' subject of formula

a = [tex]\frac{10}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

Find the surd of the equation, we have

a = [tex]\frac{10}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] × [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

a = [tex]\frac{10\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex]

a = [tex]5\sqrt{2}[/tex]

a = [tex]7. 07cm[/tex]

Thus, the side of the edge of the cube is 7. 07cm
