Question

The formula for the surface area of a cube is A equal 6 s to the power of 2 comma where s is the side length. Cube X has a side length of 1, and cube Y has a side length of 2. How much greater is the surface area of cube Y than cube X?

Answer 1

Surface area of Cube Y is 3 times greater than the surface area of cube X

Explanation:

Surface area of a cube,A = 6s²

Where,

s = side length

Cube X has a side length of 1,

Surface area of cube, X = 6s²

= 6 * 1²

= 6 * 1

= 6

cube Y has a side length of 2

Surface area of cube, Y = 6s²

= 6 * 2²

= 6 * 4

= 24

How much greater is the surface area of cube Y than cube X?

Surface area of Cube Y is 3 times greater than the surface area of cube X
