Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to find the total surface area of a cube. The formula for the surface area of a cube is 6×(side length)2, since a cube has 6 faces and each face is a square.
Insert side length: Insert the given side length into the formula.Surface area = 6×(1.8 inches)2
Calculate face area: Calculate the area of one face of the cube.(1.8inches)2=1.8×1.8=3.24inches2
Calculate total surface area: Calculate the total surface area of the cube.Surface area = 6×3.24inches2=19.44inches2
