A cube with a volume of 1000 cubic centimeters must be 10 centimeters on a side. (10 x 10 x 10 = 1000)
So it has six sides, each of which is 10 cm x 10 cm = 100 square centimeters.
Therefore the surface area is 6 x 10 x 10 = 600 square cm.

If we let s be the edge of the cube, then we get s³ = 1,000 cm³. That means s = 10 cm, since 10 is the cube root of 1,000. Each face of the cube is (s cm)² in area and there are 6 faces. So the entire surface area is
A = 6 (s cm)² = 6 (10 cm)² = 6 (100 cm²) = 600 cm².

To find the length of each side: What number multiplied by itself three times gives you 1000? The surface area is then side^2 *6.

1. set the formula for finding the volume of the cube equal to 1000 cm^3 (if you dont know it jsut google it lol) and solve for s or x or whatev you make it.
2. plug what you get for your variable into the formula for surface area of a cube and work it out.
i hope this helped. i did what i can without doing it for you lol

surface area of a cube = area of one side *6
