Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the edge of the cube be 'a'

Total surface area of the cube $=6a^2$

when the edge is reduced to half,

Total surface areaof the cube

$=6(\frac{a}{2})^2$

$=6(\frac{a^2}{4})$

$=\frac{1}{4}(6a^2)$

$=\frac{1}{4}(Total\:surface\;area\:of\:the\:original\:cube)$

When the edge of the cube is reduced to half, its total surface

area reduces to one fourth
