Answer 1

To calculate the surface area of a cube, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \times ( \text{edge length} )^2
\]

Given the edge length of the cube is 16.35 mm, we can substitute this value into the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \times (16.35 \, \text{mm})^2
\]

Calculating \( (16.35 \, \text{mm})^2 \):

\[
(16.35)^2 = 267.6225 \, \text{mm}^2
\]

Now multiply by 6:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \times 267.6225 \, \text{mm}^2 = 1605.735 \, \text{mm}^2
\]

Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives:

\[
\text{Surface Area} \approx 1606 \, \text{mm}^2
\]

However, the closest option you provided is \( 1,604 \, \text{mm}^2 \).

So, the final answer is:

**1,604 mm²**.
