Given that each square is 1 inch find the surface area of a Rubiks cube puzzle

Answer 1

A standard Rubik's cube has 6 faces, each consisting of 9 smaller squares.

To find the surface area of the Rubik's cube, we need to calculate the area of each face and sum them up.

Each face has a dimension of 3 x 3, which means each face has an area of 3 x 3 = 9 square inches.

Since there are 6 faces, the total surface area of a Rubik's cube is 6 x 9 = 54 square inches.
