Solution

Sure, here are the steps to find the length of one side of the cube:

  1. We know that the surface area of a cube is given by the formula 6s^2, where s is the length of a side of the cube.

  2. In this case, the surface area is given as 96 square inches. So, we can set up the equation 6s^2 = 96.

  3. To solve for s, we first divide both sides of the equation by 6. This gives us s^2 = 16.

  4. Finally, we take the square root of both sides to solve for s. This gives us s = 4.

So, the length of one side of the cube is 4 inches.
