Well you know the area of a square is length x width...so since both lengths are 's'...this would be s times s...which is?

The area of square is s^2.
One side of cube is just one square.
So the area of one of the sides is simply s^2.

This is a trick question, so read it carefully!

The area of a square is the side squared, or s^2.

A cube has six sides, so the area of all the sides on the cube is 6s^2, right?

But that's not what the questions is asking!
It wants to know the area of ONE side, so the answer is s^2, or B.
