What is the surface area of a square prism with sides that measure 8 units?

384 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a square prism with all sides equal, we are in the presence of a cube. A cube has 6 identical faces. We can calculate the surface area of each face as:

Area = side × side = side²

If the length of the side is 8 units (we are not provided with the specific unit), the area of each face is:

A = side² = (8 unit)² = 64 unit²

The total surface area of the square prism is the surface area of 1 face times 6.

64 unit² × 6 = 384 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

i think the correct option is the second option.
