Question

Help Fast... What is the surface area of the cube with the given edge length, s?

Drag and drop the surface area into the box to match edge length.

Answer 1

1734mm^2

Explanation:

surface area of a cube= area of a side * 6

= s^2 *6

=17^2 *6

=1734mm^2

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

The area of one square face is the square of the edge dimension:

face area = s^2 = (17 mm)^2 = 289 mm^2

A cube has 6 square faces, all with the same area, so the surface area of the cube is ...

surface area = 6 × face area = 6 × (289 mm^2) = 1734 mm^2

___

You don't even need a calculator for this. You can select the appropriate answer by realizing the area of a face is less than (20 mm)^2 = 400 mm^2, and the total area is less than 6×400 mm^2 = 2400 mm^2. Estimating can be your friend.
