Question

How many square centimetres are there in the surface area of a solid cube of side 1 metre?

Answer 1

60,000 cm^2.

Explanation:

1 metre = 100 centimetres.

Area of one side of the cube = 1*1 metre = 100*100

= 10,000 cm^2.

Now there are 6 sides on a cube so the total surface area

= 6 * 10,000 = 60,000 cm^2
