Solution Steps

00:00 Find the sum of the cube's edge lengths
00:03 In a cube all edges are equal, let's mark it with letter A
00:07 Let's find them all
00:21 Multiply the number of edges by the edge size according to the given data
00:24 Let's calculate and solve
00:35 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Recall that a cube has 12 edges.
  • Step 2: Use the formula for the sum of the lengths of cube's edges: 12×edge length 12 \times \text{edge length} .
  • Step 3: Perform the calculation using the given edge length of 7 cm.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: A cube has a total of 12 edges.
Step 2: Using the formula, the sum of the lengths of the edges is 12×7 12 \times 7 .
Step 3: Calculating this gives us 12×7=84 12 \times 7 = 84 cm.

Therefore, the sum of the lengths of the edges of the cube is 84 84 cm.

Answer

84 84
