Acube has a surface area of 600 cm2. what is the side length?

The answer is 10cm,  happy to help anytime

The surface area of a cube is computed as:
6*A, 
where A is the area of each of the 6 sides.
So we know that each of the sides has an area of 
600/6 = 100 cm^2 
The area of the sides of the cube is
A_side = s^2
where s is the side length.
So the side length is the square root of 100 cm^2
s = sqrt(100cm^2) = 10cm.
This means the side length is 10 cm.

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
