Alice is covering a foam cube with fabric to make a fool stool. Each side of the cube is 20 inches. How many square inches of fabric will she need?

Im thinking 20*4

20*20= ANS

ANS*6= the square inches needed

To find the amount of fabric Alice will need to cover the foam cube, we need to calculate the total surface area of the cube.

The cube has 6 equal faces, each with a length of 20 inches. To find the area of one face, we multiply the length by the width (20 inches * 20 inches = 400 square inches). Since all the faces are the same, the total area of all the faces will be 6 times the area of one face.

Therefore, the total surface area of the foam cube is 6 * 400 square inches = 2400 square inches.

So, Alice will need 2400 square inches of fabric to cover the foam cube and make a footstool.

Amb is right.

20*20 = area of one side.

there are 6 sides to a cube.
