Answer 1

To find the surface area of a cube with a side length of \( s = 10 \) cm using the formula \( 6s^2 \), you can substitute \( s \) into the formula.

1. Calculate \( s^2 \): \[ s^2 = 10^2 = 100 , \text{cm}^2 \]

2. Now, apply the surface area formula: \[ \text{Surface Area} = 6s^2 = 6 \times 100 = 600 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Thus, the surface area of the cube is \( 600 , \text{cm}^2 \).
