Use the formula SA=6s^2 , where SA is the surface area and s is the edge length of the cube, to solve this problem.

Eliz must cover a cube-shaped box with giftwrap. The edge length of the box is 6 1/2 inches.

What is the surface area of the box?

Enter your answer, as a mixed number in simplest form, in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is a figure consisting of 6 faces with exactly same area. All the edges of a cube have same length.

The surface area of a cube is given by the equation:

(1)

where

SA is the surface area

s is the length of one edge of the cube

In this problem, we have a box with the shape of a cube; the length of one edge of the cube is:

First of all, we rewrite the length of the edge as an improper fraction; we get:

Now we use eq(1) to find the surface area of the cube:

Now we want to rewrite it as a mixed fraction, so:
