Question

A kleenex is a cube with a side length of 9.5in what is the surface area if the kleenex box ?

Answer 1

541.5 in^2

Explanation:

surface area of cube = 6 * side length ^2

9.5^2 * 6 =541.5 in^2

Answer 2

The surface area of the box is 541.5 in².

Explanation:

The surface area of a cube is the sum of six congruent squares.

The area of each square is the square of the side length of the cube.

Therefore, the surface area of a cube with side length "s" is:

`\boxed{\sf Surface\;area\;of\;a\;cube=6s^2}`

Therefore, to calculate the surface area of a cube with a side length of 9.5 inches, substitute s = 9.5 into the formula:

`\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Surface area}&=6(9.5)^2\\&=6(90.25)\\&=541.5\; \sf in^2\end{aligned}`

Therefore, the surface area of the box with side lengths of 9.5 in is 541.5 in².
