Answer:

$18\ ft^2$

Explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

The surface area of a cube is equal to the area of its 6 squares faces

so

The area of one square face is equal to

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

$b=1\ ft$

substitute

$A=(1)^2=1\ ft^2$ ---> area of one square face

Find the surface area of three cubes

Multiply the area of one square face by 6 (one cube has 6 faces) and then multiply the result by 3 (3 cubes)

so

$SA=3[6(1)]=18\ ft^2$
