Calculate the surface area of a cube with 12-inch edges. How many square inches is the surface area?

Answer 1

The formula for the surface area of a cube is SA = 6s^2, where s is the length of one side. In this case, the length of one side is 12 inches.

Substituting this value into the formula:
SA = 6 * 12^2
SA = 6 * 144
SA = 864

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 864 square inches.
