Clara Meyers · Answer 1

Since a cube has 6 sides, and each side has an area of 12 cm², just multiply 6 x 12 = 72

the surface area of the cube is 72 cm ².

Linda Beasley · Answer 2

A cube has 6 identical sides

if total surface area is the area of the sides added up

since 1 side=12 cm^2

then 6 sides=12 times 6 cm^2=72 cm^2

the total surface area=72 cm^2
