PLEASE EXPLAIN WITH STEP BY STEP
PLEASEEEEEEEEE.........​

Answer 1

Answer: 8 cubes and 6 cm^2 or 6$cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of bigger cube = lbh = 2cm x 2cm x 2cm = 8$cm^{3}$

Volume Of smaller cube = lbh = 1cm x 1cm x 1cm = 1$cm^{3}$

No. of cubes = 8/1 = 8

Surface area of cube = 6 x $edge^{2}$

= 6 x 1cm x 1cm

= 6$cm^{2}$
