To find the surface area of a cube using the formula \( 6s^2 \), where \( s \) is the length of each side, we will substitute \( s = 10 \) cm into the formula.
1. Calculate \( s^2 \):
\[
s^2 = 10^2 = 100 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
2. Multiply by 6 to find the surface area:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6s^2 = 6 \times 100 = 600 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
Therefore, the surface area of the cube with a side length of 10 cm is \( 600 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
1. Calculate \( s^2 \):
\[
s^2 = 10^2 = 100 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
2. Multiply by 6 to find the surface area:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6s^2 = 6 \times 100 = 600 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
Therefore, the surface area of the cube with a side length of 10 cm is \( 600 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
