Answer:
Solid A
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of a cube: 6 x a², where a is the side.
= 6 x 6²
= 6 x 36
= 216 cm²
Surface area of the cuboid/rectangular prism: 2(lw + wh + lh), where l is the length, w is the width, h is height.
= 2((5 x 4) + (4 x 8) + (5 x 8))
= 2(20 + 32 + 40)
= 2(92)
= 184 cm²
Therefore, Solid A has the larger surface area compared to Solid B.
