Question

Cubic bins with closed tops are used to transport melons to the farmers market. The edge length of each bin is 1.5 m. What is the surface area of the outside of one of the bins? Drag and drop the correct answer into the box. 3.375 91 1.25 13.5

m??

Answer 1

There are 6 faces to the bin so the surface area

= 6 * 1.5^2 = 13.5 m^2 Answer

Answer 2

Answer:
`13.5\text{ m}^2`

Explanation:

Given: Cubic bins with closed tops are used to transport melons to the farmers market.

The edge length of each bin = 1.5 m

We know that the surface area of cube is given by :-

`\text{S.A.}=6(\text{edge})^2\\\\\Rightarrow\text{S.A. of cubic bin}=6(1.5)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\text{S.A. of a cubic bin}=13.5\text{ m}^2`

Hence, the surface area of a cubic bin=
`13.5\text{ m}^2`
