This has really stumped me so help? What is the surface area of the cube:

OpenStudy (kainui):

What's the area of one face? It's just a square right? So what's the area of one of those squares?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Nope, 7 is the length of one side. The area is length times width. |dw:1396896747988:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 49 is the length of one side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 294?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Yep!

OpenStudy (kainui):

Although 49 is the area of one face, not a length.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! So let me get it straight, you find the area of one side and then multiply the answer by the number of sides on the shape?
