The figure shown is composed of 4 identical cubes. Find the surface area. The surface area of the figure is _____ ft²

To find the surface area of a figure composed of 4 identical cubes, we first need to find the surface area of one cube. The surface area (S) of a cube with edge length (a) is given by the formula:

[ S = 6a^2 ]

Since we have 4 identical cubes, if they are arranged separately, the total surface area would be:

[ Total Surface Area = 4 times 6a^2 = 24a^2 ]

However, if the cubes are joined together in a way that some surfaces are hidden (i.e., touching each other), we need to account for those hidden surfaces, which reduces the total surface area.

If you provide the arrangement or dimensions of the cubes, we can adjust the calculations accordingly. Without this specific information about how the cubes are positioned, I can’t give an exact surface area.
