Hi again! ;)
If we want to find the surface area of a cube, we need to find the area of one surface first, and then multiply that by 9, since there are 9 sides/surfaces on a cube.
Since each side of a square is the same, we first find the area of one surface:
9 × 9 = 81
Then, to find the surface area, we multiply 81 by 6:
81 × 6 = 486
The surface area is
