Given that a cube has edges measuring 6 centimeters each.

We know that cube is like a box whose faces are square.

So the surface area is given by formula
= 6x^2

where x represents side length of the cube.

Given that side length of the cube = 6 centimeters

so plug this value into above formula:

Surface area
= 6a^2

Surface area
= 6(6)^2

Surface area = 6(36)

Surface area = 216

Hence final answer is 216 square centimeter.
