To find the surface area of a cube, you need to calculate the area of each face and then sum them up. Since all faces of a cube are square and have equal sides, you can use the formula:

Surface Area = 6 * (side length^2)

Given that the side length is 8 inches, you can substitute it into the formula as follows:

Surface Area = 6 * (8^2) = 6 * 64 = 384 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of a cube with a side length of 8 inches is 384 square inches.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's correct the calculation:

Given that the side length of the cube is 8 inches, the formula to find the surface area of a cube remains the same:

Surface Area = 6 * (side length^2)

Substitute the side length of 8 inches into the formula:

Surface Area = 6 * (8^2) = 6 * 64 = 384 square inches

Therefore, the correct surface area of a cube with a side length of 8 inches is 384 square inches.

bot what did you multiply to get 384 I get it that you multiplied 8 and 8 which gave you 64 but what did you multiply 64 with

I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation:

The formula to find the surface area of a cube with a side length of 8 inches is:

Surface Area = 6 * (side length^2)

Substitute the side length of 8 inches into the formula:

Surface Area = 6 * (8^2) = 6 * 64

Now, to find the final answer, you need to multiply 6 by 64:

6 * 64 = 384

Therefore, the correct surface area of a cube with a side length of 8 inches is 384 square inches. Thank you for pointing out the error.
