-2w^2=66.54-201.02
-2w^2= -134.48
w^2 = 134.48/2
w=square root of (67.24)=8.20

Answer:
1/4, or 4 times smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the surface area of a cube is just the combination of the area of all of the square sides, and the formula for those is s^2, if the side length was decreased by 1/2 then the surface area would decrease by (1/2)^2=1/4. Hope this helps!
