To find the surface area of the Rubik's cube, we need to calculate the surface area of each individual smaller cube and then multiply by the total number of smaller cubes.
Each side of the Rubik's cube is made up of 3x3=9 smaller cubes. Since there are 6 sides to a cube, the total number of smaller cubes is 6x9=54.
The surface area of each smaller cube is 6 square inches (since each cube has 6 faces), so the total surface area of the Rubik's cube is 54x6=324 square inches.
Therefore, the surface area of the Rubik's cube is 324 square inches.
An illustration shows a Rubik’s cube made up of three by three smaller cubes on each side.
Given that each square is 1 inch, find the surface area of this puzzle game.

way less than that, incorrect
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct the calculation for the surface area of the Rubik's cube.
Each side of the Rubik's cube is made up of 3x3=9 smaller cubes. Since there are 6 sides to a cube, the total number of smaller cubes is 6x9=54.
To find the surface area of the Rubik's cube, we need to calculate the surface area of each face of the cube and then sum them up. Each face of the Rubik's cube is a 3x3 square, meaning each face has an area of 3x3=9 square inches.
Since there are 6 faces on the Rubik's cube, the total surface area of the Rubik's cube is 6x9=54 square inches.
Therefore, the surface area of the Rubik's cube is 54 square inches.
