Question

Z-Grand Shipping Company manufactures boxes in the shape of a cube.
The formula for the surface area of a cube is 6s, where s is the length of one side.
Z-Grand Shipping Company manufactures large boxes with a side length of 6 feet. The surface area of each large box is
square feet
The company also manufactures small boxes with a side length of 3 feet. The surface area of each small box is
square feet
The surface area of the large box is times larger than the small box.

Answer 1

Answer:

The surface area of the large box is 2 times larger than that of the small box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so using the given 6s (formula for the surface area), let's plug in the side length of the large box first.

6(6) = 36

Now let's do the side length of the small box next.

6(3)=18

We can now do 36/18 to figure out how many times larger the large box is when compared to the small box.

36/18=2

Answer: the surface area of the large box is 2 times larger than the small box.
