Huy is painting eight styrofoam cubes for a science project. the side length of the cube measures 6 1/2 inches. What is the total surface area that Huy will paint

2028 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of the styrofoam cube measures 6 1/2 inches.

Step 1

We find the surface area of a cube

The formula is given as

Surface Area = 6a²

Where a = Side length of the cube = 6 1/2 inches

Hence,

Surface area of a cube = 6 × (6 1/2inches)²

= 253.5 square inches

Step 2

Huy is painting eight styrofoam cubes for a science project.

The total surface area that Huy will paint is calculated as:

1 styrofoam cube = 253.5 square inches

8 styrofoam cubes = x

Cross Mulitiply

x = 8 × 253.5 square inches

x = 2028 square inches

Therefore, the total surface area that Huy will paint is 2028 square inches.
