This one's a little tricky.. I'm giving out the majority of my points for this.Z-Grand Shipping Company manufactures boxes in the shape of a cube.The formula for the surface area of a cube is 6s2, where s is the length of one side.Z-Grand Shipping Company manufactures large boxes with a side length of 6 feet. The surface area of each large box is ____ square feet.The company also manufactures small boxes with a side length of 3 feet. The surface area of each small box is ____ square feet.The surface area of the large box is ____ times larger than the small box.

Question
Answer:
Hello there! :D

So, if the surface area is 6s^2

Plug in the larger box. 

6*6^2
6*36= 216

Surface area of larger box= 216

Smaller box:

6*3^2
6*9
54 <=== smaller box surface area 

Now, divide the larger surface area by the smaller. 

216/54= 4 

It is four times larger than the smaller box.

I hope this helps!
