7 meters squared.
245 meters squared.
49 meters squared.
294 meters squared.

Answer 1

Answer:

294 meters squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of cube is calculated using the formula :

Surface area of cube = 6a²; where a = side length of the cube

The side length of the cube, a = 7 meters

Hence,

Surface area = 6 * 7² = 6 * 49

Surfave area of cube = 294 meters
