Answer 1

Answer:

$A=486\ \text{inches}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a cube shaped box is given by :

$A=6s^2$

Where

s is the side length and A is the surface area

We have, s = 9 inches

So,

$A=6\times (9)^2\\\\A=486\ \text{inches}^2$

So, the required area is $486\ \text{inches}^2$.
