The correct Answer is:
To find the volume of a cube given its total surface area, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Formula for Total Surface Area of a Cube**: The total surface area (TSA) of a cube is given by the formula: \[ \text{TSA} = 6a^2 \] where \(a\) is the length of one side of the cube. 2. **Convert the Mixed Fraction to an Improper Fraction**: The given total surface area is \(32 \frac{2}{3} \, m^2\). We need to convert this mixed number into an improper fraction: \[ 32 \frac{2}{3} = 32 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{32 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{96 + 2}{3} = \frac{98}{3} \, m^2 \] 3. **Set Up the Equation**: Now, we can set up the equation using the TSA formula: \[ 6a^2 = \frac{98}{3} \] 4. **Solve for \(a^2\)**: To isolate \(a^2\), divide both sides by 6: \[ a^2 = \frac{98}{3} \div 6 = \frac{98}{3} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{98}{18} = \frac{49}{9} \] 5. **Find \(a\)**: Now, take the square root of both sides to find \(a\): \[ a = \sqrt{\frac{49}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{7}{3} \, m \] 6. **Calculate the Volume of the Cube**: The volume \(V\) of a cube is given by the formula: \[ V = a^3 \] Substitute \(a = \frac{7}{3}\): \[ V = \left(\frac{7}{3}\right)^3 = \frac{7^3}{3^3} = \frac{343}{27} \, m^3 \] 7. **Convert to Mixed Fraction**: To convert \(\frac{343}{27}\) into a mixed fraction: - Divide 343 by 27, which gives 12 with a remainder of 19. - Thus, \(\frac{343}{27} = 12 \frac{19}{27} \, m^3\). ### Final Answer: The volume of the cube is: \[ 12 \frac{19}{27} \, m^3 \]
