Given the conversion factor

Solid A

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the surface area of a cube = 6a²

Where a = side length

Solid A = 17ft

For solid A, surface area = 6 × (17 ft)²

= 1734 ft²

For Solid B

the conversion factor 3.28ft/ 1 m

Solid B = 5m

Hence, converting 5m to ft

1m = 3.28 ft

5m =

Cross Mulitiply

= 5m × 3.28ft

= 16.4 ft

Hence, the surface area of solid B =

6 × (16.4 ft)²

= 1613.76 ft²

The cube that has the larger surface area is Solid A
