The total surface area of a cube can be calculated by finding the area of each face and then adding them together.
Since a cube has 6 equal faces, we can find the area of one face and then multiply by 6 to get the total surface area.
The area of one face of the cube is found by multiplying the length of one side by itself:
Area of one face = (side length) * (side length)
In this case, the side length is 8 inches:
Area of one face = 8 in * 8 in = 64 in^2
To find the total surface area, we multiply the area of one face by 6:
Total surface area = 64 in^2 * 6 = 384 in^2
So, the total surface area of the cube is 384 square inches.
