Explanation:
Remember that the sides of a cube always have the same length.
In this case the length of the sides L is:
.
The cubes have 6 faces. Then the surface area of the cube is equal to the area of its 6 faces.
Since all sides of the cube have the same measure, then the area of each face is:
![A = L ^ 2](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/s6dbajkck9ddwakndix3xy15dhtk1z23r3.png)
Then the area of the 6 faces is:
![A_s = 6L ^ 2](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/obawqhmd3cwtv8n9sguywg7do2xfjy61wm.png)
![A_s = 6 * (9 ^ 2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/gjvac4ztv2v3cpcqbznknsqww9l26shsxa.png)
