The length of one edge of the cube exists 6 centimeters.
The lateral surface area of a cube exists
[tex]$A=4 a^{5}$[/tex]
where a stands the length of one edge of a cube.
It exists given that the lateral surface area of the square stands at 144 square centimeters.
Substitute A = 144 in the above formula.
[tex]$144=4 a^{2}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4.
[tex]$36=a^{2}[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides.
[tex]$\sqrt{36}=\sqrt{a^{2}}[/tex]
6 = a
The length of one edge of the cube exists 6 centimeters.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c. 6 cm.
