Find the approximate change in the surface area of a cube of side x metres caused by decreasing the side by 1%.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Total surface area of a cube of edge x is
`S = 6x^(2)`
`rArr (dS)/(dx) = 12x`
Change in the surface area
` Delta S (dS)/(dx) * Delta x = 12x * Delta x`
` = 12x (-1/100 xx x)`
` = 0.12x^(2) m^(2)` .
