Answer:

About 2.7 Square feet, 100 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The human cortex is an outer layer that is covering the grey matter over the hemisphere and is typical 2-4 mm thick and certain regions have a similar function and are termed as the primary cortices and are responsible for receiving the sensory inputs ad thus have more complex fictions and are also involved n the synthesis of movements.
