Question

match each correct answer to a letter and comp
1 find the total surface area of the cube-shaped gift below.
2 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Find area of one face

A cube's face is a square. Area of square: $\text{Area} = s^2$ where $s=2$ ft.
$\text{Area of 1 face} = 2^2 = 4$ $\text{ft}^2$

Step2: Calculate total surface area

A cube has 6 identical faces. Multiply single face area by 6.
$\text{Total Surface Area} = 6 \times 4 = 24$ $\text{ft}^2$

Answer:

24 square feet
