Question

14 a cube has an edge measuring 6 cm. find its surface area. answer: cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Find area of one face

$\text{Area of 1 face} = 6 \times 6 = 36 \ \text{cm}^2$

Step2: Multiply by 6 (total faces)

$\text{Total surface area} = 6 \times 36 = 216 \ \text{cm}^2$

Note: The unit $\text{cm}^3$ in the original question is incorrect for surface area; the correct unit is $\text{cm}^2$.

Answer:

216 $\text{cm}^2$
