What is the length of a diagonal of a cube with a side length of 10 cm? 200 cm 210cm 300 cm 320cm

The length of the diagonal of the cube = √(3 × 10²) = √300 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the properties of the cube

- It has six equal faces all of them are squares

- It has 12 vertices

- The diagonal of the cube is the line joining two vertices in opposite

 faces (look to the attached figure)

- To find the length of the diagonal do that:

# Find the diagonal of the base using Pythagoras theorem

∵ The length of the side of the cube is L

∵ The base is a square

∴ The length of the diagonal d = √(L² + L²) = √(2L²)

- Now use the diagonal of the base and a side of a side face to find the

 diagonal of the cube by Pythagoras theorem

∵ d = √(2L²)

∵ The length of the side of the square = L

∴ The length of the diagonal of the cube = √[d² + L²]

∵ d² = [√(2L²)]² = 2L² ⇒ power 2 canceled the square root

∴ The length of the diagonal of the cube = √[2L² + L²] = √(3L²)

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the side of the square = 10 cm

∴ The length of the diagonal of the cube = √(3 × 10²) = √300 cm

- Note: you can find the length of the diagonal of any cube using

 this rule Diagonal = √(3L²)
