Question 14 options:

1)

6 × 3 × 3

2)

3 × 6 × 6

3)

9 × 6 × 6

4)

6 × 9 × 9

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 6 * 3 * 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the box is a cube, the surface area would be 6 times one side's area (since in a cube each side is a square) or A=6s^2 where s is a side length of the cube. This means that the surface area is 6*3*3=6*9=54 in^2
