Answer:

216 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cube is the sum of the area of the six faces. So, the total surface area is

Surface area = 6l²

because l is the length of a side and l² is the area of one face.

Replacing l = 6 cm, we get:

Surface area = 6(6 cm)²

Surface area = 6(36 cm²)

Surface area =216 cm²

Therefore, the answer is 216 cm²
