Because all the edges are equal, the figure is a cube. The formula for the surface area of a cube is 6s2, where s is a side of the cube. Thus, the surface area of the solid is 337.5; eliminate choice (A). The formula for the volume of a cube is s3, so the volume of the cube is 421.875; eliminate choice (B). SV is a diagonal of the cube. The formula for the diagonal of a box is a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2, where a, b, and c are the sides of the box and d is the diagonal. Thus, SV is 12.99 and does not equal UV. Eliminate choice (C). TW is also a diagonal of the cube, so its length is 12.99. The only correct answer is choice (D).
