Answer:

The answer to your question is: Letter C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 micrometer were to double 2 micrometer

The surface of one side = 2 x 2 = 4

There are 6 sides = 4 x 6 = 24 micrometer²

Answer:

The correct answer is option C) 24μm ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

If we have 1 micrometer and we double it, it is 2 micrometers.

The surface of one face of the cube is:

2 * 2 = 4 micrometer ^ 2

Since we have 6 faces of the cube, we have 4 * 6 = 24 micrometer ^ 2

After calculations, we conclude that the correct answer is option C) 24μm ^ 2
