Question

Cube: Find the surface area of a cube with side 5 inches.

Answer 1

150 square inches

Explanation:

find the area of 1 square face

5*5=25

multiply by 6 faces

25*6=150

Answer 2

We are given the dimension of the side being 5 inches and it states that we need to determine the surface area. The first step that we must do is find the area of one side and then we multiply it by 6 because we have 6 same sides.

`A = s^2`

`A = (5\ in)^2`

`A = 25\ in^2`

Now that we have the area of one side we can multiply it by 6 to get the total surface area.

`A = 25\ in^2 * 6`

`A = 150\ in^2`

Therefore, our final answer is that the surface area is 150 inches squared

Hope this helps!
