For this case, what we must do is find the surface area of the cube.
By definition, the surface area of a cube is given by:
[tex]A = 6L ^ 2
[/tex]
Where,
L: length of the sides of the cube.
Substituting values we have:
[tex]A = 6 (2) ^ 2
A = 6 (4)
A = 24 cm ^ 2[/tex]
Answer:
The total surface area that will be painted is:
24 cm²
