Eight cubes, each with a volume of 512 cm^3, are joined to form one large cube. What is the surface area of the large cube?	Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 4096 sq cm	B) 1536 sq cm	C) 1024 sq cm	D) 2048 sq cm	E) 512 sq cm
volume = a x a x a = a ^3   volume of cube = 8 x 512 = 4096 cm^3   4096 = a^3   a = 16   surface area of cube = 6 a^2 = 6 x 16^2 = 1536   Answer is 1536 sq cm
