Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

hh

Answer 2

the answer is in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is

54

c

m

, volume is

27

c

m

and surface area-to-volume ratio is

2

Step-by-step explanation:

If

s

is the side of a cube, then its surface area is

6

s

Hence, if the sides of a cube are

3

inches long

its surface area is
