Q. A mini game cube is covered in different colors and has a side length of 1.81.8 inches. Which of the following would represent the amount of space covered in various colors?\newlineA. 116.64in2116.64\text{in}^{2}\newlineB. 3.24in23.24\text{in}^{2}\newlineC. 19.44in219.44\text{in}^{2}\newlineD. 10.8in210.8\text{in}^{2}
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to find the total surface area of a cube. The formula for the surface area of a cube is 6×(side length)26 \times (\text{side length})^2, since a cube has 66 faces and each face is a square.
  2. Insert side length: Insert the given side length into the formula.\newlineSurface area = 6×(1.8 inches)26 \times (1.8 \text{ inches})^2
  3. Calculate face area: Calculate the area of one face of the cube.\newline(1.8inches)2=1.8×1.8=3.24inches2(1.8 \, \text{inches})^2 = 1.8 \times 1.8 = 3.24 \, \text{inches}^2
  4. Calculate total surface area: Calculate the total surface area of the cube.\newlineSurface area = 6×3.24inches2=19.44inches26 \times 3.24 \, \text{inches}^2 = 19.44 \, \text{inches}^2
