Answer:

96 inches squared

Explanation:

One side is equal to 4 in

All cube sides are the same

á = s^2

s = 4

a = 4^2

a = 16 square inches = 1 side

Cube has 6 sides

6(16) = 96 inches squared = Surface area

Answer:

96 in²

Explanation:

for a cube of side 4 inches

area of each face = 4 x 4 = 16 in²

However we know that a cube has 6 identical faces,

Hence surface area of cube

= 6 x area of each face

= 6 x 16 in²

= 96 in²
