- [ 3 ] A cube of edge length s > 0 has the property that its surface area is equal to the sum of its volume and five times its edge length. Compute all possible values of s . 3 2 2 3 Answer: 1 , 5 . The volume of the cube is s and its surface area is 6 s , so we have 6 s = s + 5 s , or 3 2 0 = s − 6 s + 5 s = s ( s − 1)( s − 5).
