Question

How many times smaller is the surface area of a cube if the side length is multiplied 1/2
​

Answer 1

1/4, or 4 times smaller

Explanation:

Since the surface area of a cube is just the combination of the area of all of the square sides, and the formula for those is s^2, if the side length was decreased by 1/2 then the surface area would decrease by (1/2)^2=1/4. Hope this helps!
