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.
Solution
Sure, here are the steps to solve the problem:
-
Understand that a cube has 6 equal sides.
-
The formula to find the area of a square (which is what each side of the cube is) is side length squared. So, for one side of the cube, the area would be 3.5 inches * 3.5 inches = 12.25 square inches.
-
Since a cube has 6 sides, you would multiply the area of one side by 6 to find the total surface area of the cube. So, 12.25 square inches * 6 = 73.5 square inches.
So, the surface area of the cube is 73.5 square inches.
