What is the surface area?
Each face of the cube is a square with sides that are 4 centimeters long.
Find the area of one face:
| Area |
= side × side
= 4 × 4
= 16 |
The area of each face is 16 square centimeters. There are 6 faces. Multiply:
| Surface area |
= 6 × 16
= 96 |
The surface area of the cube is 96 square centimeters.
