What is the surface area of the cube below 8 8 8?

The surface area of a cube is calculated using the formula (6a^2), where (a) is the length of one side. For a cube with side length 8, the surface area would be (6 \times 8^2 = 6 \times 64 = 384) square units. Thus, the surface area of the cube is 384 square units.
