what will be the percentage increase in the area of the cube ' s surface if each of the cube ' s edges grows by 50 % ?
"the question is very easy . my logic is the following : a surface = 6 * a ^ 2 after 50 % increase a surface = 6 * ( ( 1.5 a ) ^ 2 ) = 6 * 2.25 * a ^ 2 the increase in the surface area = ( 6 * 2.25 * a ^ 2 - 6 * a ^ 2 ) / 6 * a ^ 2 = ( 6 * a ^ 2 ( 2.25 - 1 ) ) / ( 6 * a ^ 2 ) = 2.25 - 1 = 1.25 = 125 % answer : a"
multiply(subtract(power(add(const_1, divide(50, const_100)), const_2), const_1), const_100)
