Hi there!

I believe your answer is:
1.5 square meters

Here’s why:
As given in the question you have asked, the surface area of a cube can be found with:
[tex]SA=6s^2\\\\SA - \text{Surface Area}\\\\S- \text{A given side length.}[/tex]
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
We are given the side length of 0.5 meters. This means that we have to substitute the variable 's' for '0.5' to find the surface area.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
[tex]\boxed{\text{Surface Area of a cube with a side length of 0.5 meters:}}\\\\------\\\\SA= 6(0.5)^2\\\\\rightarrow SA=6(0.25)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{SA=1.5}\\\\------[/tex]
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
[tex]\text{The surface area of the cube should be }\boxed{\text{1.5m}^2\text{.}}[/tex]

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
