S.A. = 2 w + 2 h + 2 wh
= 2 · x · x + 2 · x · x + 2 · x · x
= 2 x^2 + 2 x^2 + 2 x^2 Multiply first. Then add like terms.
= 6 x^2
The formula for the surface area of a cube is
S.A. = 6 x^2.


  1. 4 ft by 7 ft by 6 ft; The dimensions of the dunk
    tank are suffi cient for a person to fall in and get wet.

  2. False; Sample answer: A rectangular prism with
    a length of 9 units, a width of 7 units, and height of
    13 units has a surface area of 2(9 × 13) + 2(9 × 7) +
    2(13 × 7) or 542 square units. If you double the
    length, the surface area is 2(18 × 13) + 2(18 × 7) +
    2(13 × 7) or 902 square units. So, 2 × 542 is 1,084.
    1,084 ≠ 902 25. Sample answer: Surface area
    measures the area of the faces, and area is
    measured in square units. 27. G 29. 1,413.7 in^3

  1. Sample answer: Yes, it could make a difference.
    As a rule, calculating with more decimal places
    produces an answer closer to the exact value.

  1. It would be shorter to climb up the slant height.
    Sample answer: The bottom of the slant height is
    closer to the center of the base of the pyramid. The
    bottom of the lateral edge is farther from the center
    of the base of the pyramid. 15. The formula is
    based on fi nding the area of each base and then
    adding them together. 17. H 19. 13,890 cm^2
