Solution:
The surface area of cube is given as:
[tex]Surface\ Area = 6s^2[/tex]
Where,
"s" is the length of each side of cube
From given,
s = 5.2 inches
Therefore,
[tex]Surface\ Area = 6 \times 5.2^2\\\\Surface\ Area = 6 \times 27.04\\\\Surface\ Area = 162.24[/tex]
Thus the surface area of cube is 162.24 square inches
