Answer:
Surface area of the cube = [tex]150\ cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given shape in figure 1:
Cube with edge length = 5 cm
To find the surface area of the cube.
Solution:
The surface area of a cube is given by the formula:
[tex]Surface\ Area = 6a^2[/tex]
where [tex]a[/tex] represents the length of the edges of the cube.
For the given cube [tex]a=5\ cm[/tex]
Plugging [tex]a=5\ cm[/tex] in the formula to find the surface area of the cube.
[tex]Surface\ Area = 6(5)^2[/tex]
∴ [tex]Surface\ Area = 6\times 25 = 150\ cm^2[/tex]
