The edges of a cube are 5 centimeters each and the diagonal of a face is approximately 7 centimeters. What is the approximate area of the cross section passing through the diagonals of opposite faces of this cube? A. 12 square centimeters B. 25 square centimeters C. 35 square centimeters D. 49 square centimeters

C. 35 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need for this question:

The edges of a cube are 5 centimeters each.

The face diagonal is about 7 centimeters. (actually 7.0710678118655 cm)

To find the cross sectional area here, multiply 5 cm by 7 cm.

5 cm * 7 cm

35 cm² is your final answer, so C is the answer.

54
