Question

A 3x3 Rubik's cube has a total surface area of 54 ${cm}^2$. The area occupied by a single red tile on Rubik's cube will be?

• A. 0.25 cm²
• B. 1 cm²
• C. 2 cm²
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1 cm²

Area of each face $=\frac{\text{Total surface area of Rubik's cube}}{\text{No. of faces}}=\frac{54c{m}^2}{6}=9c{m}^2$

Area of each tile $=\frac{\text{Area of each face}}{\text{No. of tiles on each face}}=\frac{9c{m}^2}{9}=1c{m}^2$ (As there will be 9 tiles on each face of the Rubik’s cube)
