The length of the side of a cube is . Give its surface area in terms of 
.
Explanation
Substitute  in the formula for the surface area of a cube:

What is the area of the triangle pictured above?
12
24
30
40
60
Explanation
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula . Importantly, the height is a perpendicular line between the base and the opposite point. In a right triangle like this one, you're in luck: the triangle as drawn already has that perpendicular line as one of the two sides. So here we will calculate 
. That gives us an answer of 24.
Calculate the volume of the provided figure.

Explanation
In order to solve this problem, we need to recall the volume formula for a cube:
Now that we have the correct formula, we can substitute in our known values and solve:
The length of the side of a cube is . Give its surface area in terms of 
.
Explanation
Substitute  in the formula for the surface area of a cube:
If a cube has one side measuring  cm, what is the surface area of the cube?
Explanation
To find the surface area of a cube, use the formula , where 
 represents the length of the side. Since the side of the cube measures 
, we can substitute 
 in for 
.
Calculate the area of the provided figure.
