what is the surface area of the cube?
one square = 16 ft2
all squares × 6
total surface area: ? ft2

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of faces of a cube

A cube has 6 faces.

Step2: Calculate the total surface area

Since each face has an area of \(16\ \text{ft}^2\), the total surface area is \(16\times6\).
$$16\times6 = 96$$

Answer:

\(96\)
