this is prodigy math

Answer 1

@axie

Answer 2

Ok so how many sides on a dice

Answer 3

Alright and what is the length and width of one side of this cube?

Answer 4

Yup! So how do we find the area of one section?

Answer 5

Kinda, we would multiply 5x5 to get the surface area of one section. But we have 6 sections so technically it would be (5x5)x6

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Any questions

Answer 8

so i do this for 5 sides?

Answer 9

No. We already found the surface area, gimme a second

Answer 10

Basically what we are doing is finding the area of every little shape from the shapes map and and adding then together

Answer 11

??????? that confuses me even more😭

Answer 14

idk this anymore

Answer 16

Just imagine that this is a perfectly drawn square and the a's are perfectly written.

The way you find the surface area of a square is multiple its length, by its width. Since the sides of a square are all equal, we denote that as

\[SA_{s} = a \times a = a^2\]

The surface area of a square is equal to a times a, or a squared.

Now to find the surface area of a cube, we must first determine what equation to use. A cube has six sides, and all the sides are squares. So in order to find the surface area of the cube, we simply do

\[SA_{c} = 6 \times a^2 = 6a^2\]

Answer 17

For the rectangular prism, @karissafrazier try see if this helps you visualize it.
