Dan’s new appliance arrived in a cardboard box in the shape of cube. What is the surface area of the cardboard box? A cube has side lengths of 3 feet.

Use the formula S A = 6 s squared, where SA is the surface area of the cube and s is the length of each side.
18 Feet squared
36 Feet squared
54 Feet squared
324 Feet squared

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to calculate the surface area of a cardboard box in the shape of a cube is,

Surface area = 6(Side)²

If the length of the each side of the box is = 3 feet

Surface area of the cube = 6(3)²

                                          = 6 × 9

                                           = 54 square feet

Therefore, Surface area of the box in the shape of a cube is 54 square feet.

Option (3) is the correct option.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
