Use the formula SA=6s^2 , where SA is the surface area and s is the edge length of the cube, to solve this problem.

Eliz must cover a cube-shaped box with giftwrap. The edge length of the box is 6 1/2 inches.

What is the surface area of the box?

Enter your answer, as a mixed number in simplest form, in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is a figure consisting of 6 faces with exactly same area. All the edges of a cube have same length.

The surface area of a cube is given by the equation:

(1)

where

SA is the surface area

s is the length of one edge of the cube

In this problem, we have a box with the shape of a cube; the length of one edge of the cube is:

First of all, we rewrite the length of the edge as an improper fraction; we get:

Now we use eq(1) to find the surface area of the cube:

Now we want to rewrite it as a mixed fraction, so:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
