The area of a square can be found with the following formula:


A=s^2

Where "s" is the length of any asi of the square.

In this case, you can identify that:


s=3\operatorname{cm}

Knowing the value of "s", you can substitute it into the formula:


A=(3\operatorname{cm})^2

Finally, evaluating, you get that the area of each face of the given cube, is:


A=9\operatorname{cm}^2
