Question

Find the surface area of this cube. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Are the dimensions 8yd x 8yd x 8yd? If so this is how you do:

First calculate the area or one side. Then multiply it by 6 as all the sides of the cube have the same area.

Side area = 8yd x 8yd = 64yd^2

Surface area = 6 x 64yd^2 = 384yd^2
