Question

aliyah is repainting a toy robot made out of two wooden cubes. she wrote the expression 6(15·15)+6(9·9)−2(9·9) for the surface area of the toy. in the expression aliyah wrote, what does the term 6(15·15) represent? the surface area of the bottom cube the area of the overlap of the cubes the total surface area of the toy the surface area of the top cube

Explanation:

The formula for the surface area of a cube is \(SA = 6s^{2}\), where \(s\) is the side - length of the cube. For a cube with side - length \(s = 15\), the surface area is \(6\times(15\times15)\). Since the bottom cube has a side - length of \(15\) cm, this term represents the surface area of the bottom cube.

Answer:

The surface area of the bottom cube
