Given:
The volume of a cube = [tex](2+3p)^3\ \text{cm}^3[/tex]
To find:
The total surface area of the cube in terms of p.
Solution:
Volume of a cube is:
[tex]V=a^3[/tex] ...(i)
Where, a is the side length.
It is given that,
[tex]V=(2+3p)^3\ \text{cm}^3[/tex] ...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
[tex]a=2+3p\text{ cm}[/tex]
Now, the total surface area of a cube is:
[tex]A=6a^2[/tex]
Where, a is the side length.
Putting [tex]a=2+3p[/tex], we get
[tex]A=6(2+3p)^2[/tex]
Therefore, the total surface area of the cube in terms of p is [tex]6(2+3p)^2\ \text{cm}^2[/tex].
