Answer: [tex]13.5\text{ m}^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Cubic bins with closed tops are used to transport melons to the farmers market.
The edge length of each bin = 1.5 m
We know that the surface area of cube is given by :-
[tex]\text{S.A.}=6(\text{edge})^2\\\\\Rightarrow\text{S.A. of cubic bin}=6(1.5)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\text{S.A. of a cubic bin}=13.5\text{ m}^2[/tex]
Hence, the surface area of a cubic bin=[tex]13.5\text{ m}^2[/tex]
