Surface area= 24 ft^2
A cube has 6 faces, so the surface area of 1 face would be 24/6, which is 4 ft^2.
The formula for the area of a square is l x w, but in a square both are equal so you're essentially squaring one side.
Therefore, the area of a square ( 4 ft^2 ) can be square-rooted in order to find the length of an edge.
[tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex] = 2
Therefore, the length of 1 edge of the cube is 2 ft
