Answer:

Surface area of the refrigerator is 864 in².

Explanation:

Formula to calculate the surface area of a cube is,

Surface area = 6s²

Here, s = length of a side of the cube

If side length 's' = 12 inches

By substituting this value in the formula,

Surface area = 6(12)²

= 6 × 144

= 864 inch²

Therefore, surface area of the refrigerator is 864 in².
