Question

Can you find the surface area of a prism if you know that it is a cube and that the width is 2 ft? Explain why or why not. If you can find the surface area, what is it?

Answer 1

the total area is 6(4 ft^2) = 24 ft^2

Explanation:

Each of the three dimensions of the cube is 2 ft.

All of the six sides of this cube are squares of edge 2 ft.

The area of one square is (2 ft)^2 = 4 ft^2, and so

the total area is 6(4 ft^2) = 24 ft^2
