Answer:
24s^2, 54s^2, 96s^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the initial side length of the cube. Then the area of each face of the cube is A = 6s^2 (recalling that the area of a square of side length s is s^2).
a) Now suppose we double the side length. The total area of the 6 faces of the cube will now be A = 6(2s)^2, or 24s^2 (a 24 times larger surface area),
b) tripled: A = 6(3s)^2 = 54x^2
c) quadrupled? A = 6(4s)^2 = 96s^2
