Question

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.(1 point)
square inches

Answer 1

The surface area of a cube can be found by adding up the area of all six sides.

Since each side of the cube is a square, the area of one side is 3.5 inches squared (3.5 in x 3.5 in = 12.25 sq in).

Because there are six sides on a cube, you would then multiply the area of one side by six to get the total surface area of the cube:
12.25 sq in x 6 = 73.5 sq in

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