Answer:


\huge\boxed{\text{The answer for part b) is 96}}

Explanation:

Right away, because the scale factor of the dilation is 1/2, which is less than 1, the new surface area should be less than the original. Simply multiply each side length by 1/2, then recalculate for surface area to get 4*4*6, or 96.

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
