Cube Problem
Jackson has a cube. Each edge of the cube is 5 centimeters long, as shown below.
Part A<
Jackson paints every face of the cube. What is the total surface area, in square centimeters, of the cube
Jackson paints? Be sure to show your work and explain your reasoning.
Part B
After the paint dries, Jackson cuts the cube in half. He makes the cut along the diagonal of one pair of parallel faces. Rounded to the nearest thousandth, the diagonal has a length of 7.071 centimeters. Once the cut is made, Jackson has two identical triangular prisms.
What is the combined area, in square centimeters, of the surfaces of the two prisms that were not painted?
