Question

Dan’s new appliance arrived in a cardboard box in the shape of cube. What is the surface area of the cardboard box? A cube has side lengths of 3 feet. Use the formula S A = 6 s squared, where SA is the surface area of the cube and s is the length of each side.
18 Feet squared
36 Feet squared
54 Feet squared
324 Feet squared

Answer 1

C  is the answer 0: Easy

Answer 2

Option C

The surface area of cube is 54 square feet

Solution:

Given that,

Dan’s new appliance arrived in a cardboard box in the shape of cube

A cube has side lengths of 3 feet

The formula to find surface area is:

$Surface\ Area = 6s^2$

Where,

s is the length of each side

From given,

s = 3 feet

Therefore,

$Surface\ Area = 6 \times 3^2\\\\Surface\ Area = 6 \times 9\\\\Surface\ Area = 54$

Thus surface area of cube is 54 square feet
