Answer:

Surface area= 6(5·5)+6(3·3)-2(3·3)

Explanation:

first figure out the surface area of both cubes

for the larger cube- 5 multiplied by 5 for the area of one side then multiplied by 6 for all faces

for the smaller cube- 3 multiplied by 3 for the area of one side then multiplied by 6 for all the faces.

the cubes are touching on one face, this is the whole area of one side of the 3 by 3 cube, meaning two of these faces must be subtracted to find the surface area of the whole shape

hope that helps
