Answer:
[tex]A = \frac{3}{8}ft^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given formula, [tex]A=6s^2[/tex], and the given value for the side length of the cube, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] foot, substitute the given value into the equation and solve.
[tex]A=6(\frac{1}{4})^2[/tex]
Remember, setting any value to the second power is the same as multiplying the base (the value that is being squared) by itself. Apply this information to the given problem,
[tex]A = 6(\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{4})\\\\A = 6(\frac{1}{16})\\\\A = \frac{6}{16}\\\\A = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
