The image above is a cube. To calculate the perimeter of a cube, one essential parameter is needed and this parameter is length of one of the sides (a).
The formula for calculating the perimeter of a cube:
P = 12a
Where;
P = Perimeter of the cube
a = Length of one of the sides of the cube
Let’s solve an example;
Find the perimeter of a cube when the length of one of the sides is 14 cm.
This implies that;
a = Length of one of the sides = 14 cm
This means, P = 12a
P = 12 x 14
P = 168
Therefore, the perimeter of the cube is 168 cm.
Calculating the Length of one of the sides of a Cube using the Perimeter of the Cube
a = P / 12
Where;
a = Length of one of the sides of the cube
P = Perimeter of the cube
Let’s solve an example;
Find the length of one of the sides of a cube when the perimeter of the cube is 200 cm.
This implies that;
P = Perimeter of the cube = 200 cm
That is, a = P / 12
a = 200 / 12
a = 16.67
Therefore, the length of one of the sides is 16.67 cm.
