Question

Gia knows that the formula for the surface area of a cube is A = 6s2, where s is the cube's side length. She wants to find the surface area of a cube with sides of length of LaTeX: \frac{1}{4}1 4- foot. What is the surface area of this cube?

Answer 1

The area of the cube is equal to
`0.375\ \text{foot}^2`.

Explanation:

The formula for the surface area of a cube is :

`A=6s^2`

Where

s is the cube's side length

Put s = 1/4 foot

So,

`A=6* ((1)/(4))^2\\A=0.375\ \text{foot}^2`

So, the area of the cube is equal to
`0.375\ \text{foot}^2`.
