Answer
1) $13.5 cm^2$
2) The Area of each face is the length of one edge squared.
3) The Surface Area of a cube is the sum of all the areas of the faces.
Work Step by Step
1) To find the surface area, the following formula is used: $6s^{2}$
Using 1.5 as the side length, the surface area would be
$A= 6(1.5^2)$
$A = 6(2.25)$
$A = 13.5 cm^2$
