Answer:
The answer to your question is letter D. greater than 9 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Surface area = 496 in²
length of a side = ?
Process
1.- Write the formula to calculate the surface area of a cube
Surface area = 6 [ side x side]
or Surface area = 6 side²
2.- Substitution
496 = 6 side²
3.- Solve for side
side² = 496/6
side² = 82.67
4.- Find side
side = √82.67
side = 9.09 in
