Well, honey, if you've got five 1cm cubes stuck together, you've basically got a 1x1x5 rectangular prism. The surface area of that bad boy is 2(1x1) + 2(1x5) + 2(1x5) = 2 + 10 + 10 = 22 square cm. So, there you have it, darling!

22 cm squared
5 x 1 = 5 [one side 5 cubes long 1 cube high]
5 x 4 = 20 [4 sides]
1 x 1 = 1 [one end of cube]
1 x 2 = 2 [both ends of cube]
20 + 2 = 22

If there are no partially attached faces, the maximum area is 22 cm2 as above. But a 2x2 square arrangement, with the fifth cube attached anywhere gives 20 cm2.
The diameter of a circle is 56 cm. What is the circumference of the circle? Use 22/7 to approximate for pi.

A cube with 1 cm sides has a surface area of 6 cm2 and a volume of 1 cm3.
If the surface area is 49 cm2 then the edge lengths are 2.858 cm
Find the surface area of each face then add them together to give the total surface area.
