Question

Allen plans to weld peices of metal together to create a metal cube the length of of each side of the cube will be 14 inches how much metal will he need to create the cube

Answer 1

To calculate the total surface area of the cube, we need to find the area of one face (since all faces of a cube are identical) and then multiply it by the total number of faces (which is 6 for a cube).

The area of one face of the cube is simply the length of one side squared:

14 inches x 14 inches = 196 square inches.

So the total surface area of the cube is:

6 x 196 square inches = 1,176 square inches.

Therefore, Allen will need 1,176 square inches of metal to create the cube.
