Solution:
We know that:
[tex]\space\ Surface \space\ area \space\ of \space\ cube=\s Area \space\ of \space\ it's \space\ faces[/tex]
This means that:
[tex]\space\ Surface \space\ area = [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)][/tex]
Simplify the expression to find the surface area.
Simplifying the expression:
[tex][(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] + [(2)(2)] \\\\\ [4] + [4] + [4] + [4] + [4] + [4]\\\\ 4[6] \\\\ 24 \space\ cm^{2}[/tex]
Hence, the surface area is 24 cm².
