Exercise 68 Page 52

Use the formula for the surface area of a cube.

486cm^2

Practice makes perfect
We want to find the surface area of a cube with edge lengths of 9 centimeters. To do so, we can use the formula for the surface area of a cube. S=6s^2 The term s represent the side length of the cube. In our case, the side length is 9 centimeters. Then, we will substitute s= 9 into the above formula to calculate the surface area.
S=6s^2
S=6( 9)^2
S=6(81)
S=486
The surface area of the cube is 486cm^2.<premium partialsolution=1>
