The formula in solving the area of a square is Area = a² where "a" is for the length of the side. The area formula in solving a cube is Area = 6a² where "a" is for the length of its side.
Area of square = a²
64 = a²
a = 8 units
Area of cube = 6a²
64= 6a²
a = 3.27 units
The difference of side of the square and side of the cube is shown below:
Difference = 8 - 3.27
Difference = 4.73 units.
The answer is 4.73 units.
