The original area of a face would be a^2. Now that you added b to the edge, the new area of each face would be (a+b)^2. To find how much the are increased, subtract a^2 from (a+b)^2. 
So the answer is b(2a+b)
Y=9.25 (short answer but hope this helped u)
$32.072 ≈ $32.07
20% of $38 is equal to $7.60
$38 - $7.60 = $30.40
5.5% of $30.40 = 1.672
$30.40 + $1.672 = $32.072
