Question

Find the surface area of this shape.

Answer 1

54 square yards

Explanation:

This is a cube, as the width, height, and length are all the same. To fine the surface area of a cube, simply find the area of one side and multiply it by six, as a cube has six sides.

`Area = Width*Height\\Area = 3 * 3\\Area = 9`

The area of one side of the cube is 9 square yards. Therefore, the surface area of the entire cube is 6 x 9 or 54 square yards.

Answer 2

54 yds²

Explanation:

Area of 1 side: 3*3=9

Number of sides: 6

6*9=54
