Question
Jesse unfolded a cube-shaped cardboard box, as shown below. 4 ft What is the surface area, in square feet, of the cardboard box?
Solution
To find the surface area of a cube, you need to know the length of one side. In this case, the length of one side is given as 4 feet.
A cube has 6 equal sides. So, to find the total surface area, you multiply the area of one side by 6.
The area of one side (which is a square) is found by squaring the length of the side. So, the area of one side is 4 feet * 4 feet = 16 square feet.
Therefore, the total surface area of the cube is 16 square feet/side * 6 sides = 96 square feet.
