Question from Jill, a parent:
you have a sheet of cardboard that measures 9ft x 6ft. To make the entire sheet into a closed box tht is a perfect cube, what would be the surface area of the box?

Jill,

To make the entire sheet into a closed box that is a perfect cube, what would be the surface area of the box?

Surely the same as the area of the sheet of cardboard? Or was the question meant to be something different?
