To find the surface area of a cube, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 6 \times a^2 \]
where \( a \) is the length of an edge of the cube.
In your case, the edge length \( a \) is 8 inches. Plugging this value into the formula gives:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 6 \times (8 , \text{inches})^2 = 6 \times 64 , \text{inches}^2 = 384 , \text{inches}^2 \]
Therefore, the surface area of the cube is \( 384 , \text{square inches} \).
