Question

Check out this cube: The figure presents a cube. The length of one edge is labeled as 4 units The figure presents a cube. The length of one edge is labeled as 4 units Find the surface area of the cube (above) using its net (below). The figure presents a surface net of a cube. The net consists of 4 squares connected in a row. The second square from the left is also connected to a square above it, and a square below it. The length of one side of one square is labeled as 4 units.

Answer 1

Answer:

The surface area of the cube is 96 squared unit.

Explanation:

The surface area of a cube is the addition of the area of each surfaces. The surface net of the cube illustrates that it has 6 squares of 4 unit length each.

So that,

 Area of a square = length × width

But, length = width

⇒ Area of a square  = $(length)^{2}$

                              = $(4)^{2}$

                              = 16

Area of one of the squares of the cube is 16 squared unit.

Surface area of the cube = number of squares × Area of one of the squares of the cube

                                          = 6 ×16

                                          = 96 squared unit

The surface area of the cube is 96 squared unit.
