Answer:
Solid A
Explanation:
The formula to find the surface area of a cube = 6a²
Where a = side length
Solid A = 17ft
For solid A, surface area = 6 × (17 ft)²
= 1734 ft²
For Solid B
the conversion factor 3.28ft/ 1 m
Solid B = 5m
Hence, converting 5m to ft
1m = 3.28 ft
5m =
Cross Mulitiply
= 5m × 3.28ft
= 16.4 ft
Hence, the surface area of solid B =
6 × (16.4 ft)²
= 1613.76 ft²
The cube that has the larger surface area is Solid A
