The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the side length of a cube given that the area of the square on the diagonal of the cube is \(192 \, \text{cm}^2\). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between the side of the cube and the diagonal:** - Let the side length of the cube be \(A\). - The formula for the length of the diagonal \(d\) of a cube is given by: \[ d = A\sqrt{3} \] 2. **Determine the area of the square on the diagonal:** - The area of the square formed on the diagonal is given as \(192 \, \text{cm}^2\). - The area of a square is calculated as the square of its side length. Therefore, if the side of the square is equal to the diagonal \(d\), we have: \[ \text{Area} = d^2 = (A\sqrt{3})^2 \] 3. **Set up the equation:** - From the area given, we can write: \[ (A\sqrt{3})^2 = 192 \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ 3A^2 = 192 \] 4. **Solve for \(A^2\):** - To isolate \(A^2\), divide both sides by \(3\): \[ A^2 = \frac{192}{3} = 64 \] 5. **Find \(A\):** - To find \(A\), take the square root of both sides: \[ A = \sqrt{64} = 8 \] 6. **Conclusion:** - The side length of the cube is \(8 \, \text{cm}\). ### Final Answer: The side of the cube is \(8 \, \text{cm}\).
