Hans makes a wooden puzzle in the shape of a cube. If a single side of the cube is 3.5 inches, what is the surface area of the cube? Hint: Draw a net and find the correct answer in square inches (1 point)

Answer 1

The surface area of a cube can be found by calculating the area of each of the 6 sides and then adding them together.

Since each side of the cube is 3.5 inches, the area of each side is 3.5 x 3.5 = 12.25 square inches.

Since there are 6 sides to a cube, the total surface area is 6 x 12.25 = 73.5 square inches.

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 73.5 square inches.
