Explanation:
Using the given formula,
, and the given value for the side length of the cube,
foot, substitute the given value into the equation and solve.
![A=6((1)/(4))^2](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/y0d05onq4fq4k4j2un6aatfb6h55rvxzay.png)
Remember, setting any value to the second power is the same as multiplying the base (the value that is being squared) by itself. Apply this information to the given problem,
![A = 6((1)/(4)*(1)/(4))\\\\A = 6((1)/(16))\\\\A = (6)/(16)\\\\A = (3)/(8)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/oygercsfcarl6zf5n4jxy3kj7bcl9a6h92.png)
