Hans makes a wooden puzzle in the shape of a cube. If a single side of the cube is 3.5 inches, what is the surface area of the cube? Hint: Draw a net.(1 point)
The surface area of a cube can be found by adding up the areas of all six faces.
Since the cube has six faces that are all squares, and each side of the cube is 3.5 inches, the area of each face is (3.5 inches x 3.5 inches) = 12.25 square inches.
Since there are six faces, the total surface area of the cube is 6 x 12.25 = 73.5 square inches.
Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 73.5 square inches.
