181 sq cm

Explanation:

Answer:Total surface area of cubes (TSA) = 6a2

(1) a = 3cm

TSA = 6 × 3 × 3, TSA = 54 sq.cm

(2) a = 5 cm TSA = 6 × 5 × 5, TSA = 150 sq.cm

(3) a = 5,5 cm, TSA = 6 × 5.5 × 5.5

TSA = 181.5 sq. cm

we are asked to determine the surface area of a cube that has a side length of 12 cm.

To do that let's remember that a cube has 6 faces and the area of each face is its side length squared. Therefore, the total surface area is the side length squared multiplied by 6:


A=6(12\operatorname{cm})^2

Solving the operation:


A=864cm^2
