Chapter 10 - Geometry - 10.5 Volume and Surface Area - Exercise Set 10.5 - Page 657: 24

Answer

The surface area is\[216\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}}\].

Work Step by Step

The surface area is\[216\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}}\]. Each edge of the cube (s) is 6ft. The surface area of the cube can be computed by multiplying the edge twice and then the resultant figure with 6. Compute the surface area of the cube using the equation as shown below: \[\begin{align} & \text{Surface area of the cube}=6{{s}^{2}} \\ & =\left( 6\times 6\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}} \right) \\ & =216\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}} \end{align}\]
