Well, isn't that a happy little question! To find the surface area of a cube, you simply need to calculate the area of all six sides and add them up. Since all sides of a cube are the same, you can find the area of one side by squaring the length of one side. So, for a 3-inch cube, the surface area would be 6 sides x (3 inches x 3 inches), which equals 54 square inches. Happy painting!

The bulk of the question is irrelevant ! If all you need is the surface area of the 3-inch cube, simply multiply 3 x 3 x 6 to give 54 square inches !
Surface area of a 3 inch square is 54 inches.
The surface area is 750 cm^3
To tackle this you first need to know the equations for both volume and surface area. The surface area of a cube is 6x2 where x is the side length. The volume of the cube is x3. Thus x is the cube root of the volume. We can substitute this in to the surface area equation and say that the surface area of a cube is 6volume2/3 This can also be rearranged to say that the volume of the cube is (the surface area/6)1.5
Each face has a surface area of 3 x 3.As there are 6 faces, the total surface area is 6 x 3 x 3 = 54 square metres
