What is the total surface area of a cube that has 8-inch sides?

1 answer

The formula for calculating the surface area of a cube is 6 * s^2, where s is the length of one side of the cube. Given that the cube has 8-inch sides, we can substitute s = 8 into the formula and calculate the total surface area:

Surface area = 6 * 8^2 = 6 * 64 = 384 square inches.

Therefore, the total surface area of the cube is 384 square inches.
